THE
CONGRESS of the People (COP) is moving full steam ahead
to contest the upcoming local government elections in the
form of strategic interventions in the various electoral
areas.
So insisted COP chairman Roy Augustus who said co-ordinators
had been appointed in all 14 local government regions and
committees were elected to “undertake the necessary
work.”
Augustus said co-ordinators had been requested to conduct
field surveys to provide a list of problems and issues in
their respective regions, as well as recommendations as
to how they intended to address them.
The party has also appointed a subcommittee to prepare a
local government manifesto that will incorporate the philosophy,
policies and strategies for effective local governance,
a release stated yesterday.
Augustus said an evaluation of the 2007 general election
results indicated that the COP was strategically poised
to win in a number of electoral regions and districts.
He said application forms for prospective candidates were
expected to be completed and returned to the party by Monday.
