The guy rigged by creating more branches to vote for him. He is more likely going to lose the actual elections. Nobody wants him after the reputation of his dad. There is no development in this constituency. People are tired of poor infrastructure in the area. The roads are impassable. No schools. No health centres, etc
Ufumu wa MCP. I bet tye voters didnt even listen to his plans, the name was enough for the villagers. As long as it rains and there’s maize to eat.
Kkkkkkkk eya zovuta. I heard Museven was saying that in Africa we only eat to fill the stomach but not the proper food.
Nde muziti family dynasty??
You are the one saying it.
Symphafy vote.
