The Head of the Training Department and Acting Head of the Awareness Department at the Bahrain Institute for Political Development, Muhammad Abdullah Al Jahmi, has called on students of the University of Bahrain who wish to run for the next student elections to be realistic in preparing their electoral programmes and to move away from unenforceable promises.

This came in a workshop entitled “Biography and Election Program”, which Al Jahmi presented to students of the University of Bahrain, via virtual space, as part of the “Preparing Future Leaders” workshop series that the Deanship of Student Affairs holds during the second semester of the current academic year 2020-2021.

Al Jahmi talked about the content of the electoral programme, and its social, cultural, and administrative service axes.

It also explained the main steps in election campaigning, and the basic rules for communicating with voters. Al Jahmi referred to the electoral programme and what the candidate should take into account when preparing it, stressing the importance of the appropriateness of the axes for the needs of college students for them, the existence of a time plan for the implementation of the programme, the non-repetition of the axes, in addition to clarity and ease of delivery of the programme to voters.

The Dean of Student Affairs, Dr Fatima Muhammad Al Maliki, said that the “Preparation of Future Leaders Program” is a set of lectures and training workshops organised by the Deanship in various administrative, leadership, and psychosocial skills, and aims to provide students with leadership skills, creative thinking, and the development of students’ administrative and technical skills, and raising a conscious generation capable of effectively contributing to the renaissance of the nation.
