The People’s Democratic Party said they are facing some problems in selecting their candidates for the September 17th general elections.
People’s Democratic Party President Lynda Tabuya said the party has done its second round of advertising but they have not received many applications.
“The biggest problem we are facing is not a lack of candidates but really people who are prepared to step up to make themselves known publicly that they want to be a candidate for our party and you know it’s unfortunate but that’s how people generally feel good. We have people in the civil service, we’ve got people in high ranking positions, we have business people that are just a little wary moving forward to declare their interest. So we think that the best time to do this and an influx of candidates will really be more realistic closer to the elections.”
Tabuya also said the party will need around 150 to 200 thousand dollars to campaign for the elections.
According to Tabuya, at least 200 to 250 thousand dollars would enable any party to have a good campaign.
She added they are relying on membership dues and other donations.
