Challenges to PPP

From Republika

The challenges facing the Moslem based United Development Party (PPP) are not unlike those facing other organizations. They are, among others, the need for more openness, the fight against human rights abuses and the widening gap between the rich and the poor posed by rapid social changes and poor quality human resources.

To be able to address these challenges, the PPP must first keep its own house in order. Next month's congress will provide a chance for the party to do this while setting up the party program. This will hopefully give the public an alternative party amid the public's exasperation toward political parties.
