The Pa­tri­ot­ic Front has an­nounced sev­en more can­di­dates for the up­com­ing gen­er­al elec­tions.

The par­ty, which is led by Mick­ela Pan­day- the daugh­ter of late for­mer prime min­is­ter Bas­deo Pan­day, de­scribed the new batch of can­di­dates as a “fear­less set of lead­ers and in­no­va­tors,” em­pha­siz­ing that these in­di­vid­u­als are not tra­di­tion­al ca­reer politi­cians, but in­stead, prob­lem-solvers, ed­u­ca­tors, en­tre­pre­neurs, health­care pro­fes­sion­als, and com­mu­ni­ty ad­vo­cates.

In a state­ment re­leased to the me­dia yes­ter­day, the Pa­tri­ot­ic Front stressed that the can­di­dates em­body the val­ues they aim to pro­mote, mak­ing them well-suit­ed to bring about the “re­al change” they promise. The par­ty stat­ed, “These are not ca­reer politi­cians, but prob­lem-solvers, ed­u­ca­tors, en­tre­pre­neurs, health­care spe­cial­ists, and com­mu­ni­ty builders who live the val­ues they fight for.
