The Jariza Coast Road, was a 2 land road the circled the island, following a narrow railroad track, yet on every house almost were political signs, most where Jariza Island signs. The doors of Barin Market opened, as two people walked inside, Hassan Kafka a New Future Organiser along with him was a local guide named Aferi who everybody called "Red". The two of them walked to the counter.
"Why is nobody here?" he asked the clerk
"Look over there," he said
He was pointing at a man in the produce section with a gun in his strapped to his belt.
They walked over to him
"Have you registered to vote?" Hassan asked him
"Of course, you look like an outsider, I dont like outsiders telling us what to do," he said
"Look, are you registered sir," Aferi asked
"Of course, I am registered and if you're trying to get me to vote for anyone besides JIP then just leave," he said
As he turned he quietly said "Meet me in the back, you will find the rally"
Behind the market were stone steps leading down towards the beach below, then walked down to the beach and there were about 40 people all standing around a large rock, some had set up plastic chairs around it. The 2 of them walked towards the rock, as people clapped for them. They got up on the rock and started the makeshift speech
"Thank, you for coming out," Hassan said
"First, of all why are all of you so hidden" Hassan asked
"The JIP are some are very extreme, many collect their funds by going to peoples homes, and threatening them," a man in the crowd said
"So are there more of you?" Hassan said
"Of course, like there is everywhere around the country many are scared," women in the back said
"JIP does not seem violent, I mean they have liberal values just like us, right?" he said
"No, they're a big tent party, with people coming from all over the spectrum, they all just support inpendence," the man from earlier said
"Well, we need to stand up to JIP, on election day we will show our support at the ballot box," Hassan said
The crowd cheered and Hassan kept going
"They may fight against us, but we will show up, if we get just 10,000 votes, we can get representation in Parliament," he said
"That is what I want you to do, go to everyone you know and tell them to not be pushed around by JIP," he said
The crowd showed its approval, as Hassan stepped down of the large rock and began to talk with the crowd.
