FDC unveils countrywide campaign team leaders

POLITICS

The Forum for Democratic Change has unveiled its nation-wide campaign team that will be responsible for soliciting support for all its candidates come 2021.

While addressing journalists at the party headquarters in Najjanankumbi on Monday, FDC presidential flagbearer-Patrick Oboi Amuriat, revealed that, besides the team of 284 members, they will also be joined by all the party district chairpersons and a committee of 30 people per village, during their campaign trail.

"For areas where we do not have official flag bearers, we shall enter into memorandum of understanding with some FDC-leaning candidates and support them wherever they will be," he said.

According to Patrick Amuriat, FDC will run a war-like-campaign to ensure that they encounter whoever will try to stand in their way in guise of implementing the COVID-19 guidelines, in a discriminating manner.

He also called upon all the opposition political parties to come up as a team and work together towards safeguarding their votes during the elections.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to sympathise with our colleagues in the struggle from the National Unity Platform, whose offices were raided by security under unclear circumstances," he said. He said FDC has encountered similar situations.
