“There may be persons who may be unhappy possibly for either losing in the primaries or for some other grievances, but I urge them to put those feelings behind them and consider the interest of the party and the people as paramount.”

“I also contested in the primaries but, at this time, it is no longer about individuals but about the party. It is always the party that is on the ballot and the success of every candidate of the party is the success of every member. For those who did not get the ticket yesterday or today, they can still get it tomorrow and all members are expected to support them and work for victory of the party.”
