As the campaign trail winds up to its last remaining hours, voters are being urged to keep their future in mind when choosing and voting this election.
Alvin Gia Huk, an independent candidate, and runner up in the 2017 National General Elections for the Mendi-Munihu Open seat in Southern Highlands Province is encouraging all voters to not repeat the mistakes they made in the past in electing people who don’t have their interest at heart.
He said voters need to make wiser decisions for long term benefits for their children, the district and the province as a whole.
“Don’t follow money and materials today and spend the next five years neglected of your basic right to services. You have the power to change your course in the next week, to receive what is rightfully yours and have a better quality of life”.
Among other policies, he said a change in voters’ attitudes is what he has been promoting and encouraging throughout the campaign period.
“I have been educating voters since last elections to not vote with a cargo cult mentality or based on family lines, tribal ties and vote for quality”.
He admits it has been a challenge breaking the cargo cult mentality but he sees some progress from the previous elections as voters become more educated and aware of what they deserve and what qualities they want in their leaders.
