Time is drawing us closer to the democratic entitlement through parliamentary and municipal elections, and with that approach, voices begin to rise under the dome of Parliament and in municipal services, each moving towards its goal of obtaining greater sympathy and achieving gains before that entitlement. During this period leading up to the elections, many voices emerge wishing to run for candidacy by flattering and titillating the citizens by playing on the string of achieving new gains, or proposing unrealistic projects. You will find chaos in the statements and demands, most of which indicate a lack of awareness or understanding of the importance and role of the Parliament as well as the municipal council.
Here we witness a prominent role for the Bahrain Institute for Political Development in promoting democratic culture and qualifying those wishing to run in the electoral competition in a responsible, rational and mature manner.
The Institute has shouldered, in a responsible manner, a vital and remarkable role through its work to consolidate constitutional concepts and healthy democratic practice by providing awareness-raising and educational courses and lectures that enhance knowledge of the electoral law, speech etiquette, and campaign controls. We all bear witness to the departure of some candidates from the constitutional line during the speeches they present at their electoral headquarters. Rather, the matter goes beyond presenting unrealistic programs that do not affect the work, whether parliamentary or municipal, for there are those who slander With his ideas, there are those who portray to the public and voters that once he reaches the parliamentary seat, he will change the entire world.
The Bahrain Institute for Political Development touched on these speeches and prepared an influential realistic program that carries legal thought and a broad culture and presented it to everyone. Through it, it aimed for the candidate to have a vision and present a realistic program through which he serves his community and his country. This program extended its culture to include how to manage electoral campaigns and communicate with the public, and what parliamentary work is after gaining the trust of voters through polling stations and voting, and how to carry this trust with a firm responsibility towards voters and the country.
The Bahrain Institute for Political Development deserves from all of us, as observers and voters at the same time, to tip our hat to it for the programs it presents that contribute to preventing negative practices and rejecting rhetoric, whether sectarian or even tribal. It consolidates the values of fair competition in a kingdom that pursues a policy of love, peace, justice, adherence to the law and the principle of transparency. All of the above contributes to raising the level of performance in successive councils and enhances the political awareness that the Institute provides in building citizen confidence. by the electoral process.
When we bet on the efforts, programs and plans of the Bahrain Institute for Political Development, we are betting on the future of the democratic experience. When the voter reaches a conviction on how to elect the most competent person without any other influences or considerations, and when the candidate reaches that advanced legal awareness, then the House of Representatives will be a positive house and an actual contributor to the progress, development and prosperity of life through legislation, monitoring and accountability. With all our hands and with our full awareness we achieve that desired future, the future that leads us to it. His Majesty, the Great King of the country, may God protect and preserve him.
