The campaign for the 3rd mandate senate election is under way but it does not attract much attention. The campaign which started on Saturday, will last until 27 Jan and only two parties are competing: the SRP and the CPP. The CPP led the campaign with great fanfare, but the SRP led a quiet campaign with meetings held at its party headquarters only.
