NUP  CAMPAIGN EVENTS Political campaigning is a means by which a political party sells its ideologies and vision to electorates. It is determined prior to electorates making the biggest decision as to which of the parties to vote for or to be given power to govern over a certain period, determined by the constitution in every democratic regime.  The National Union Party (NUP), after a successful outdooring of its presidential candidate and running mate, signaled a moment of full scale campaign.
