Newly-created party, The Alliance, wants all generations to be involved in political decision making.
Political party member, Brian Kramer, explained that the former PNG Constitutional Democratic Party will change the way political parties are run in PNG and have its members dictate its decisions.
Member for Madang, Kramer, is the driving force behind this party.
But he explains that unlike other political parties, The Alliance will not let the political head run or take advantage of the party; it will be solely controlled by its members.
“This party we build will be founded not on its members of parliament or its leaders; it will be founded on its membership base,” said Kramer.
“Now, we are looking at its constitution to ensure that no MP can decide what he wants to do with the party.”
Kramer explained that the country already has 45 existing political party and they did not intend to add another one but rebrand the existing PNG Constitutional Democratic Party.
“The current Government system, it’s impossible for any legitimate party to thrive because of corruption in election process and wide corruption across the board.
“So we (interested political parties) are now in discussion to come under one vehicle that we can drive our one common political agenda; to change the outcome, in terms of the Government and ensure credible leadership.”
Kramer said the party is targeting the millennial children to get as many involved in politics to decide what sort of future they want.
“So this party is specifically targeting first the working and educated class, typically who aren’t involved in politics and to drive them into politics and the demography is generation X, which is from 35 to 50 years old.
“Also the millennial generation, 17 to 35 years old. These are two generations The Alliance will be targeting because it’s their future that is being stolen from them.”
