Forty-two candidates, one seat.
That's democracy.
Only one female candidate in former senior public servant Anna Kavana Bais.
There was never a report about incidents of candidates and political groups clashing.
Used to be quite common in the highlands region pre- LPV system was used.
Well I guess with no violence- that's one of the advantages of LPV voting since its introduction in 2007.
Now moving forward with the one day polling scheduled for Wednesday, June 2, 2021- how have the candidates performed on their campaign trails?
I have only heard about Lohia Boe Samuel, Anna Bais, Zechariah Yakap, Jackson Kiakari, Thaddeus Kambanei, Sengol Parkop, Walter Yangomina and former NCD City Manager Leslie Alu.
Where are the others?
The latest I noticed, well just yesterday through an EMTV advert is the candidate for Charles Abel's Our Development Party in Tagaro Asiba.
All the others were through social media Facebook except for Sergie Otio, a poster on a mountain frame parked daily at the drive in to Moni Plus and Garden Hills.
Well for most I haven't heard them speak. I think one of the attributes of being a politician is to have an excellent ability to speak well.
I will post next sharing my opinions on why to be successful one has to use all mediums to campaign and promote your policies.
