Good candidate What is the yard stick of measurement of this quality.It is the party that fosters the candidate on the voters. The criteria for is winability either by muscle or money power.The past antecedents are no Iindication of concern The popularity through self advertisement and ability to splurge and add to party coffers are factors that decide. Has any candidate with education, experience, integrity ,social standing found favour with the party It is because the winability factor of honest and sincere candidate is at a discount.Wonder and admire the qualities of some past politicians to represent highly literate electorate. Even to day judge for yourself thei tegrety of new aspirants Every new candidate and old promises the moon but after election are sucked into the vortex of corruption. THEY are forced to recover and if they win gather enough for next round. THE demands of followers compels them to loot and plunder to keep them warm.Every candidate per se is honest to start with and soon afflicted with virus of contamination for personal good. IT is the confirmed story of all past present and also of the future candidates The cycle will repeat without fail It is a fallacy that only those with passion for social commitment be elected, but is the rarest of rare breed to be discovered The process and system will never operate for voters decision of candidate. Voters must acquiesce and support the choice of party elders The only alternative is none of the above but it does not sc ratch snybodys back and does not matter in the final analysis. NOT voting offers a cart blanc to the scoundrels.The worst scenario is of being poached, or offered vast sums to change parties or defect.These are the most trustworthy candidates in whom voters reserved faith.They turned full circle for development which you can judge by their perfomance. UNLESS some strict regulations for candidates selection and after wi n are enforced. I t is themockrry of process that will rewind again Some parties and candidates want to cash on withdrawal proposition at a price Independents are only to exploit circumstances as they have no policies or manifesto to confine
