Ruven Rajoo, President - Candidate

After much thought, discussion, and prayer, I am humbly seeking your support to serve as your President.
I’m running because I firmly believe, I am the right choice at this critical time. One who can provide unity and stability within our diverse Party.
I firmly believe diversity of opinion, convictions and culture makes us stronger as a Party. However, the respect for that diversity will make us successful as a Party.
My wife Jan, who has been a pillar in my life for over 26 years, are blessed to have three daughters and are proud to call the County of Two Hills home.
I certainly have the board and governance experience. But beyond the resume and beyond the skillset and I feel more importantly is my energy, passion and commitment to our Party. A Party we all helped build for a conservative cause we all share.
I am not a Conservative out of convenience or only when it is convenient. I have been there with so many of you on the front lines. Those who have worked and served with me will attest, that I don’t make or base my decisions on a person’s affiliation, last name or the size of their bank account.
I remain objective and goal orientated while holding firm to my Christian fundamental beliefs and always guided by my Conservative principles.
I have and will always be a fierce advocate for true freedom! Freedom of expression, freedom of choice, freedom of opportunity. To some these are just words, to others it’s a call to action. For me, it is much more deeper. I experienced living within a tyrannical system – apartheid. I know what’s it like to have the right to public debate or even vote suppressed or removed altogether. I lived it!
Marco, I have the grit, the fortitude, and the backbone to make difficult decisions, just like I did as a School Trustee (during the height of Covid) voting against additional Covid restrictions being implemented in our schools. Also, publicly opposing a vaccine mandate for our approx. 600 staff members.
I have the energy, enthusiasm and experience serving on the provincial executive. I know what the job entails, I am ready to hit the ground running on day one.
If I am fortunate to earn your support, I pledge to you that our Party will never be a top down organization, always a grassroots driven one.
Together, we will ensure our Party remains successful and our province remains a beacon of opportunity for decades to come.
I am really looking forward to our AGM which will serve as another perfect opportunity to reconnect as a conservative family!
