The following article was written by me some two years ago. I have cut pasted the original contents just to remind you that what I then predict was exactly the situation we are facing today.

What we decide today may impair our political recognition in the future. It has to be someone who is really committed to bring political and economic reform to our community; in fact he must be capable of doing it. It is not always necessary that the most influential figure is appropriate for the post.

The
upcoming Local Council Election will be country’s first ever
multi-party Local Council election and yet one of the most competitive
political rapture in the entire history of this lovely nation. The
campaign has already boomed and some candidates are doing their
campaigns heavily. It is believed that this Local Council Election will
be very competitive and exhilarating.
In the modern day of politics, the most influential components of a campaign is how much he/she is willing to spend and the popularity among the people. Consequently, money is one of the most coherent factors of a campaign. In a civilized community, people choose based on policies and quality of the candidates and thereby the supporters will give donor and subsequently it is people’s money. But in our community, it is more like buying votes with peanuts taking advantage out of innocence of the ordinary people rather than winning with genuine support from the people.

I,
therefore urge you to decide your choice based on vision, capability,
and drive for economical, social and political development. Let there be
no doubt that you made right choices by choosing someone who possess a
good track record.
