The Labour Party Presidential candidate also said the party members never expected much from those in power as they are trying to change an issue that has affected the country for years.

“We will remain calm, we will remain persistent and consistent. We will remain calm. That is the only way we can do. Here is a country where all we are saying is good governance, let the government care for the poor people. That is all we are asking for.”
