General Category Leaders Seek Women's Seats
In local elections, some positions are reserved for women.
Leaders who are not in the general category are finding that they have little opportunity to run for the positions.
So, some leaders are trying to get their family members, especially women, to run in the seats that are reserved for women.
These leaders are offering to help party candidates to secure these seats, because of a lack of general category seats.
General category leaders are seeking to field their family members in seats reserved for women.
This is due to the limited number of seats reserved for the general category.
