During the meeting, discussions focused on the history and formation of the USDP party, ensuring successful implementation of the upcoming election, and voters’ freedom to support organizations of their choice.

According to internal USDP sources, the party has strategically planned to utilize these artists’ public influence and image for their electoral victory in the upcoming December elections. The meeting with military-supporting artists was reportedly part of this strategy, with plans to engage these artists in campaign activities during the election period. The party aims to leverage the artists’ public platforms and existing support for the military to advance their electoral prospects.
