Progressive Democratic Party

Before the Campaign walk of the Progressive Democratic Party, various arguments and trolls have been raised by some individuals of other political parties against the PDP of using a bamboo stalk to support the Party's Flag. Some of these arguments considered the act as outmoded and not professional, others related it to the party being financially handicapped.

Based on the fact that brand management constitutes a central challenge for the marketing of political parties, it is appropriate to investigate what approach seems best in managing political brands and how these approaches should be formulated. Because of this, the Progressive Democratic Party's branding included branded souvenirs: books, pens, t-shirts, mugs, caps and nose masks, party vehicles, amongst others. It was not limited to, logos, colours, fonts, jingles, phrases, graphics or other images. These souvenirs and party properties were frequently used by members of the party, and also appeared on our blog site an...

The Progressive Democratic Party’s PDP, “Ye Dwene Woho policy”, is an educational policy that encompasses three persisting issues facing the educational sector. Most government at a point focuses on providing job opportunities for the citizens, but the gap in this attempt is that the graduates do not have the necessary skills to fit in the demanding job market, due to a lack of adequate practical skills received in the various universities. That is why the PDP government when voted into power, seeks to “provide ultra-modern practical facilities in tertiary institutions Through its implementation, graduates will acquire the necessary skills and contribute to the countries development, whiles reducing the unemployment rate alongside.
