Yes, I do vote in political elections. For me, voting isn’t just about choosing a candidate—it’s about ensuring that the leadership of my country reflects my values and principles. It’s about finding someone who is truly committed to serving the people, not driven by personal interests or the allure of popularity.

There’s something about political campaigns that can feel more like a popularity contest than a true reflection of leadership. When politicians rely on celebrities or flashy endorsements, it often feels like they’re selling an image, not a vision. This is why I focus on finding candidates who are not only qualified but also genuinely care about making a real difference. I look for someone who isn’t focused on being liked, but on doing what’s necessary, even if it’s unpopular.

For me, leadership is about substance over style. I want to support candidates who are driven by service, not self-interest. Leaders who won’t back down when things get tough, who make decisions based on what’s best for the country rather than what will get them re-elected. In my eyes, a true leader is one who can handle the weight of responsibility, no matter how hard it gets, and doesn’t shy away from making the right choices—no matter how unpopular they may be.

As a voter, I think it’s essential to choose someone who has the courage to stand firm in their values, even when they face backlash. A good leader doesn’t try to please everyone; they prioritize what’s best for the greater good. It takes a lot of courage to make difficult decisions, but that’s the kind of leadership our country deserves.

At the heart of it, we all want what’s best for our country, even if we see things differently. Our beliefs may not always align, but every vote is a chance to move toward leaders who genuinely want to serve. I choose to vote because I believe it matters—and I hope you feel the same.
