 One undeniable fact in any democratic system is the crucial role legislators play in shaping the governance and development of their constituencies. As representatives of the people, lawmakers are entrusted with making laws for the country’s benefit, providing oversight over the executive, and ensuring the dividends of democracy reach the grassroots. Without effective legislative representation, the essence of democracy is weakened, and the people are left without a voice in decision-making. Given this responsibility, political parties must always put forward their best candidates for the electorate.

The region has had several representatives in the Senate since the beginning of the Fourth Republic. However, there is a growing concern that the benefits of democracy have not adequately trickled down to the people, ...
