The National Resistance Movement Secretary General, Richard Todwong, has called for stronger civic education and greater voter focus on issues and manifestos, saying elections should be about addressing societal needs rather than attacking individuals.
Speaking to the press this morning, Rt. Hon. Todwong cautioned against personalizing government, arguing that such an approach undermines democratic governance, and that politics, as practiced by the NRM, is centered on responding to the shared needs of citizens.
Rt. Hon. Todwong highlighted the ruling party’s organizational strength at the grassroots, revealing that the NRM fielded flag bearers for Local Council One elections across the country, while some opposition parties failed to sponsor candidates at that level He also criticised campaign approaches that rely on rhetoric and personal attacks rather than substance, saying some candidates offered little beyond criticism of NRM contenders.
