According to the representatives they have not reached up to any party yet but they will make sure that the party is strong and independent to contest the elections.
“We are an apolitical organisation and have not extended support to any party. Surely, we will encourage more Christian candidates and seek tickets from various political parties. If they refuse tickets to our candidates we will field in our candidates as independents," said Advocate Alexander D'Souza, convener of United Christian Front (UCF).

The docile nature of the community should not be perceived as its weakness. We want good people from the community to be part of the system for good governance."
He added, "We had to fight for our issues on our own. The East Indian community is the original sons of the soil. But our issues have been neglected due to lack of representation in the civic corridors. We want more representation, which will help in addressing our issues. Hence we decided to come together and fight united.
