the FDM say that they are not a political party but a movement
then why would you run in an election if you are not a political party
Don’t be so literal. They are differentiating themselves from regular political parties and politicians – which they have repeatedly stated are known for saying one thing and doing another and not really representing the publics interests and needs. The FDM is a movement because they are distinctly different than any existing political party. They have built themselves up with known community orientated persons providing REAL representation.
