TNA Nominations Postponed

Buy this time i guess you know that due to logistical hitches, the TNA has been forced to postpone its primary elections for 24 hrs.

So what does this mean? For starters, most of the nomination centres will not be available due to the simple fact that most of them are in public schools and the though the ministry of education had been gracious enough to grant them Thursday, i hardly think they will extend the courtesy for a second day given the chaotic school calendar they are facing what with the delayed 2012 exams and an election in the middle of a school term. Secondly, alot of voters are simply angry and frustrated and may not bother to show up again, third, alot of doubts are being expressed about their ability to organize themselves given that they knew all along that they would hold the primaries but just couldn't deliver, fourth, with the apathy, expect alot of the thuggish contenders to go through and all of these factors may end up hurting the party at the general elections of 4th March 2013.

So how can the party control the damage? The party supremos should as a matter of urgency come out and publicly re-assure their supporters that nothing under handed is afoot and that all is well and the intagrity of the process is still in place
