IFP Party Structures Ready to Campaign Ahead of 2009 Poll

 

 

25th November 2008

Having completed its year-long Listening Campaign and taken stock of the first round of its national registration campaign, the IFP has effectively kicked off its 2009 election campaign today by presenting its party structures with a detailed to-do list. 

"The first round of our national registration campaign has yielded a record number of newly registered voters. We have also established a physical presence in every district of KwaZulu Natal and beyond and gained a firm foothold ahead of the actual election campaign," said IFP National Chairperson Zanele kaMagwaza-Msibi who addressed the party structures in Durban today. 

The IFP has presented every district and constituency chairperson as well as every public representative with a detailed to-do list ahead of the second round of the voter registration and the actual election campaign.  

"We will use our party structures to identify individuals within their jurisdiction who - for whatever reason - have not registered as voters yet and assist them in every possible way to do so," said kaMagwaza-Msibi. 

The IFP has identified its strongholds as well as target areas in KwaZulu Natal and beyond. "We will adapt our campaign strategies to specific areas keeping in mind that our strongholds are our opponents' prime targets," said kaMagwaza-Msibi. 

The IFP has also reacted to the media reports that the election date can be as early as 25 March 2009. "We are ready to take our case to the country whenever the next election takes place," said kaMagwaza-Msibi.
