Badaki outlined his campaign manifesto, focusing on forging unstoppable partnerships, unity in diversity, expanding influence, building a stronger FTAN, and ensuring financial strength.

Badaki emphasized the importance of unity among members, stating that the Federation must work together to achieve its goals.

According to Badaki, the TTM agenda will be guided by principles of transparency in financial management, inclusivity, committee-based participation, and humility in service.
