Kaupa Backs Women Candidates

Kaupa said that of the 389 candidates contesting in Eastern Highlands, nine are women.
 
"Of the nine women contesting, I just want to tell you that you have stood out for the womenfolk.
This was the opportunity for women to vote. We set the election activity plan for women to have their own polling booth as well the the common roll for women,” Kaupa said.
 
However, he emphasized, “If the womenfolk did not vote well in this election, they should not talk about contesting the elections in the future."
