Electoral robbers will face justice. So, I urge you to gear up, dont be low spirited. We just had a temporary set back.

“I sent my condolence to families of our members who were killed during the supplementary poll. This is a dark moment. I sympathize with our members who were macheted and injured. We were under siege.
