Nobel winner Establish Political Parties

LAGOS (AFP) - Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka launched a new political party on Saturday (25 / 9) in Nigeria ahead of upcoming presidential elections in the country.
Soyinka said he wanted to focus attention on corruption and give hope to young voters.
Democratic Front for the People's Federation (DFPF) not only would be a political party, but also at the "front line as the guardian of democracy," Soyinka said at the party convention.
"I want to emphasize that the function, and clearly intended as a warning and encouragement", said winning the Nobel Literature. "Above all, DFPF is a party for the disappointed youth and the idea was not accepted".
He said the move was intended to raises questions in Nigeria, a country rich in oil but has long been embroiled in corruption: "Is it really impossible to have a voice unless people swim in the sea of money?"
Soyinka, the drama and his involvement in politics has received wide recognition, was elected as party leader, despite the 76-year-old leader said he would not run.
Nigeria will hold presidential elections, legislators and state early next year but no activities are still being debated.
The country has a bad reputation in terms of electoral fraud and intimidation of voters despite President Goodluck Jonathan has promised a vote in an honest and free in 2011.
Politics in Nigeria has been dominated by the Democratic People's Party, in power since the country returned to civilian rule in 1999.
Soyinka became the first Nobel laureate in literature when he won the prize in 1986.
His book "The Man Died" contains a story while he was in jail after thrown into jail after his efforts to mediate talks during the civil war in Nigeria 1967-1970.
