wenty-two women legislative candidates and three male candidates have signed a 'political contract' with representatives from a local election watchdog, the Gemawan Institute, to show their commitment to protecting the rights and forwarding the interests of women in the province.
'Sixteen of the 29 women legislative candidates invited from Pontianak city have signed the political contract, followed by six other women candidates and three male candidates from Sambas regency.
