CORD rigging claim is self-defeating

CORD co-principals held a press conference last Thursday at their Capitol Hill office where they alleged that there was a plot by the government to rig the 2017 elections by using security forces.

This could mean that CORD leaders are already panicking, which is not good for the coalition.

Such a claim is self-defeating as it could make its supporters apathetic.

Even if the claims against the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission may be true, its important for CORD to remain calm and continue persuading their supporters to register as voters for them to have a chance in winning the forthcoming General Election.

CORD leaders should now be working on strengthening their weak points for them to have a strong strategy.
