SOGAVARE PLEASED WITH PUBLIC SUPPORT

OUR Party President Manasseh Sogavare has expressed great satisfaction over the overwhelming turnout at public rallies he was invited to explain the political party’s policy intentions.

The rallies staged at Trinity Hills in West Kwara’ae, Mbita’ama in North Malaita, Reko in North East Guadalcanal and the Telekom Recreational Centre in East Honiara over the last four days were organised by the party’s endorsed candidates for the constituencies at the request of their constituents.

“The huge turnouts at the public rallies in Malaita, Guadalcanal and Honiara I was invited to explain OUR Party policies intentions especially our flagship development decentralisation policy, demonstrated the seriousness of Solomon Islanders about electing a government that appreciates their development needs and is committed to putting in place strategies to address them.

“I was moved by the support expressed by Solomon Islanders that attended the rallies for our decentralisation policy and their desire to see us elected to power to implement this policy.   I was also moved by the expressions of appreciation for our initiative to reach out to the rural populace with our policies. It was also interesting to see people openly expressing their dislike for CNURA Government for miserably failing to fulfil its promises.

“Not only did we record overwhelming turnouts during the campaign rallies last week but also at all our party launches throughout the country and this goes to prove the trust and confidence Solomon Islanders have in the leadership of OUR Party to take the country forward,” Mr Sogavare said.

The former opposition leader and OUR Party candidate for East Choiseul said the popularity of OUR Party and its development decentralisation policy would rightly be attributed to its series of launching programmes throughout the country and thus it is proud for taking that worthy initiative though time consuming and costly.

 “We took this initiative because we believe the 2010 National General Elections will be crucial for Solomon Islanders. We believe we have arrived at a cross-road in our development endeavour and our country cannot move forward unless we properly chart our direction by electing good political leaders,” Mr Sogavare

Meanwhile, OUR Party wishes to inform the registered voters of East Honiara, Central Honiara and West Honiara constituencies that it has only one endorsed candidate for each of constituency.

They are: Geoffrey Samuel Faisi for East Honiara, Fred Peter for Central Honiara and Isaac Inoke for West Honiara.
