Desirable Qualities for Candidates
As Nigeria marches into the 2007 election amidst warries about the sustainability of reforms and policy continuity, POP in its quest to continue to provide focused leadership at all levels of governance sets forth some qualities that the Party and electorates would look out for amongst candidates. These qualities are in addition to the existing constitutional requirements that candidates must meet to qualify for electoral office. The basic concept is to carefully look at those traits that are constant and imperative for nation building and modernizati~n ofthe economy.
To this end POP in furtherance of its agenda setting role seek to identify qualities that an elected official should possess to be able to lead at various cadres. These qualities are intended to raise our campaigns from the banal, mundane level of muckraking to the more elevated and sublime level of debate on policy direction, individual capability, character requirement and intellectual capacity. This new level will require that candidates are clearly judged not just by the size of the wallet of their campaign organization but also by clearly measurable qualities.

POP is certain that amongst its aspirants are Nigerians who not only have the experience of running governments at various levels but also share in the party's vision of a new Nigeria founded on the sub structure of a new POP. The new POP is about building a platform for sustained growth, it is also about a new policy architecfure that derives its essence from the reforms embarked upon by President Obasanjo. The new POP affirms a new covenant with Nigerians; a solemn pledge to provide the platform for policy continuity that would enable long term planning and sustenance of progress thus
made.
In line with this mandate, POP has opened the space for credible candidates that possess certain qualities that are critical to the implementation of POP's vision of Nigeria. The POP in pursuit of this goal believes that a level playing ground is a sine qua non to a free and fair electoral process. Our commitment to free and fair process is unshaken and our pledge to produce credible candidates remains undaunted.
