With three months to go before the November elections, the Popular Democratic Movement has been working on its structures to ensure that its policies and strategies reflect the diverse needs and aspirations of its entire electorate and the party's mandate. 

The PDM held its trinity congress in the capital, that is, the Youth and Women Leagues as well as the Elders Council.

The congresses are instrumental in shaping the party's path and are a are a conduit for feeding its core existence.

A delegate, Inna Hengari, says the youth league has branched out to various 16 regions as demarcated by the party to ensure that various branches are revitalised and equally bring back members who have left over the years.

"The youth league really is made up of young people from all 16 administrative regions. We are here to make sure that all regions are represented and to consolidate power. Young people have a voice, this is really just an opportunity to ensure that young people have a platform to advocate for all those issues that affect them, such as youth unemployment, poverty, and hunger."
 
She further adds that young people are quite excited to exercise their democratic rights come November 27.

One of the issues they want to resolve is a lack of opportunities for them.

"They feel that PDM is the only movement and only political party in this country that has really tried to give them a platform, whether it is through the advocacy in parliament or through various motions that we have brought, so they feel they have found a home, found a place , found a place of belonging, and they are happy that they can be here to express themselves."
