Smiling Surrogates

On March 8 in the National Assembly, the “Convention for evaluating the opposition Grand National Party’s (GNP) policies and pledges,” hosted by the party’s Movement for True Politics was held. Lawmakers participating as surrogates for presidential candidates are holding hands and smiling together.
