Earlier this afternoon, Kris Bajada, who is contesting the upcoming KSU Elections as an independent candidate, addressed in a statement to the public, the “false rumours that being an independent candidate will negatively affect [his] ability to get funding.”
Bajada, running for KSU President, explained how being an independent candidate does not hinder the capacity to attract sponsors and consequently funding, for KSU. In fact he held that “on the contrary I truly believe that not only will we maintain current sponsors but then KSU will become free from party politics and we will get more sponsors.”
Kris Bajada stated that he was shocked to hear such statement because it is the proof to his argument that the mentality of many is that in order to achieve something you need to be part of a political party. Ultimately, Bajada held that students and the public at large should always remember that “Political parties do not give us the power to do something; we give THEM the power. You students possess the power and influence not the political party.”
Bajada concluded by stating that he is confident that both political parties will step-up to help the student irrespective of who leads KSU during the upcoming term. “As an independent I am willing to work with everyone and anyone for the betterment of the students.”
