“As electors, we have elected our Members of Parliament on 17 April 2024 to represent us in the National Parliament, the supreme law-making legislature in the country. We have given our mandate to our elected representatives. Our elected representatives will elect the Prime Minister. As electors, we must respect the choice and decision of our respective Member of Parliament,” the former Mayor expressed.
He appealed to all community leaders, church leaders and family heads to ensure members of the community, churches and families understand and respect the election of the Prime Minister by the elected Members of Parliament.
