New Delhi [India], April 16: In a landmark achievement, HUDDS Strategic Solutions has won the Best International Campaign (Sub-National) award at the REED Awards 2025--the world's most prestigious honor in political campaign management. This victory makes HUDDS the first-ever Indian political consulting firm to receive this global recognition, standing alongside the most innovative and impactful campaign strategists worldwide.
The REED Awards, often called the "Oscars of Political Consulting", are conferred by Campaigns & Elections, a globally renowned publication that honors excellence in campaign strategy, voter engagement, and political communications. Past winners include some of the most influential political firms from the United States, Europe, and Latin America. This year's award ceremony was held in Texas on 21st March.
HUDDS Strategic Solutions' recognition at the REED Awards is a testament to its role in supporting CM P.S. Golay's visionary leadership through the Mero Bharosa Golay campaign--which contributed to delivering one of India's most decisive electoral victories. With an impressive 97% strike rate, securing 31 out of 32 seats in the 2024 Sikkim Legislative Assembly Elections, the campaign further reinforced public trust in CM Golay's governance. His approval rating surged from 26% (Feb 2024) to 55.7% (Aug 2024), cementing his position as India's most popular Chief Minister in his home state (India Today Mood of the Nation Survey, August 2024).
