Waqar Chowdhary: 17
I believe the youth need to take an active part in politics as we are the future and if we don’t do anything now what can we expect in the future. It’s easy pointing the finger but we need to ask ourselves what have we done and what can we done. If elected, it will be my first step in the political world, as I want to become a full time politician. I will get together and unite everybody and make sure we are heard and raise the concerns of the people I represent. I am the people’s man I look at the people and think about them before I do anything for myself.
