My Strategy to Win

The very first thing I did was to pull in my own gang of voters. I needed more supporters and I called on to every member at my computer club and table tennis club to join Interact Club. I promise them that if I win I would do my very best to ensure everyone of them gets 1 ticket for 1 event.

But that still wont ensure my path towards winning.
I cant lose as I m a popular guy then and if I lose it will total shame.

I decided not to follow their tactics to print banners and flyers. Instead I keep silence all the while till elections day. My challenger from the A-TEAM was 'B' a really nice guy in school. He gave his 20 minutes speech on why he was the most suitable guy for the funding director post. Then a few other members of the A-TEAM stand up and asked his supporters to give 'B' their full support.

Then it was my turn to talk on stage.
My speech was less than 5 minutes for I invited the head Rotary guy to say a few words to give me his blessing. My speech was short and I still remember every words of it till today ...

"Dear fellow members, I m not a part of the popular A-Team. I stand here to just tell everyone that (1.) I have proven to be the most capable guy in getting funds for the club recently and have broken every funding record since Interact Club started. My capabilities are also proven in the school computer club which is the richest club in school. (2.) The funding director job is to have the ability to bring in MONEY into the club as running events requires MONEY and I m the best guy in school as far as getting money is concern. (3.) I promise everyone today that if I m elected as funding director I would ensure that our Interact Club becomes the richest Interact Club in Malaysia within 6 months."

"And B I like you and to show my sincerity I will put my own vote for you as funding director" ***I held up a piece of paper with "B" name written on it and showed it to everyone. Then I said my last words ... "A-Team members please dont let me lose by a huge margin k !".

As I end my speech 'B' stand up and told everyone that I m his best challenger and he is also going to vote for me. He then writes my name on his piece of paper.

At the end of the day when the votes was counted ... I won 'B' by 1 vote. A-Team won all the other post including normal committee positions.
