🇿🇦 South Africa, do you know who your potential councilors are? Before political 'competitors' ask for YOUR vote, how much do you know about YOUR COUNCILLOR? Demand clear answers the public deserves to know: 🔎 Their track record: What experience and community work can they demonstrate? 📍 Their Priorities: Which three local problems do they prioritize AND why? 📋 Their plan: What actions will they take, by when, and what municipal resources or approvals would be needed? 🏛️ Their powers: What can they realistically influence as a councilor, and which promises depend on other authorities? ⚖️ Their interests: What business or financial interests could create conflicts, and how would they manage them? 📞 Their accountability: How will residents reach them, how often will they report back, and how will progress be measured? Ask parties about the people on their proportional representation lists, too. The same questions should be put to every candidate. Ask for written answers. Compare answers with evidence. For community solidarity, share verified information with your community. These conversations with Dan Corder is one example of communities coming together to #KnowYourCandidates as we consider WHO to vote for. Accountability starts before election day AND continues afterwards. #KnowYourCandidates #LocalGovernment #SouthAfrica #CivicParticipation

The last day of the 'Executive Short Course' on how to manage winning political campaigns ends with awarding hard work #political @ICPCampaigns @ResourceHub_HQ

I am highly impressed with @kemo_bojang and the story behind one man who has become a force and a sharp mind, representing the worlds' strongest yet one of the most underrepresented groups across Africa: the youth. @UNDAfrica @ICPCampaigns @UCT_news @ShikamoCampaign @ICPCampaigns hope our teachings can help him reach even greater heights. #political #gambia #campaign
