Balopi’s daunting political task

Balopi, who is also the Minister of Employment, Labour Productivity and Skills Development, is yet to make his candidacy for the position public, but various sources maintain that he will be contesting.

Should Balopi contest, he knows that victory will enhance his credentials in the party. On the other hand, a loss will be equal to a calamity. It might mark the start of his downfall in BDP politics, like it has happened with others before (who lost the position of SG) him.
