Background Note:-

Lok Satta Party Maharashtra (LSP MH)  is embarking on its first major attempt to widen member participation in determining the leadership of its unit. LSP MH had invited nominations for LSP MH presidential elections for the term 2013-2016. In the absence of any nominations, the current body is determined to bring forth new faces and encourage more member participation.

While no election can be conducted in the absence of candidates, LSP MH strongly believe that next steps must be guided by member feedback. This will be very important and useful for a new leadership which is
being encouraged to step forward.
