Labour Party CEO Ivan Falzon has revealed for the first time that the party is working on developing a new mobile app aimed at creating a direct connection with its supporters, activists and members.<\/p>\n
Speaking during an interview on Andrew Fuq Campus, Falzon said developing the app will be one of the main projects he intends to work on within the Labour Party.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think this might be an exclusive,\u201d he said as he revealed the plans.<\/p>\n
Falzon explained that the idea is to have an app directly on members\u2019 and supporters\u2019 mobile devices, creating another channel through which the party can communicate with its grassroots.<\/p>\n
The proposed platform would also allow people to make donations directly through their phones.<\/p>\n
According to Falzon, those donations would be registered in the name of the person making them, something he linked directly to improving transparency.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the main points I\u2019ll be working on is the development of an app,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said he believes communication with the party\u2019s \u201csupporters, activists and members\u201d can be strengthened through a dedicated mobile platform.<\/p>\n
The announcement offers a first glimpse into how the PL CEO wants to reshape the party\u2019s digital relationship with its grassroots, bringing communication and donations together through one platform.<\/p>\n
Further details on how the app will work, when it could launch and what other features it will offer have yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
What do you make of this?<\/p>\n
