        We cannot have a situation where when one senses defeat in an election he is allowed to call for boycott and civil disobedience

        We spoke in silence and it turned out to be the loudest. Election boycott was real, it worked very well. Message delivered

        Silence? That wasn't a boycott. It was more than that. It was obstruction. And it wasn't silence.

        An election where the voter’s life is threatened by the Opposition, plus fear of being caught in police crossfire doesn’t validate anyone..
