Adding that this time, she will undoubtedly focus and serve the young people up to their satisfaction because she has heard their cries.
The female politician further said that elections are about ideas and programs but not the push and pull of words, and that is why she told her supporters to exercise patience and maintain peace.
“I was tried in so many ways, but I did not react because I love civilize politics and that is why I campaigned peacefully,” she added.
She thanked her supporters and well-wishers, adding that without them this would not be a success.
The incumbent Mayor of BCC told the media that the reason she came late to vote is because she was breastfeeding and had to receive enough prayers from her mother before leaving to vote.
She advised the youth to always come and vote during elections because it’s their constitutional right and they need to exercise it.
