I appeal to everyone to become the voice of the people and force every leader to take a stand on a nation, one election. Student leaders presented their views and suggestions on how to increase the campaign through outreach activities like college debate, community discussion, digital storytelling, door-to-door awareness and cultural initiative, so that people from all areas could be connected.
