He assured that the party will continue to maintain it’s principles of equity, social justice, sincerity of purpose, accountability, enthronement of undefiled electoral process, enhancement of the lives of the people, and propagation of humanity.

“As a creed, we all share, the dreams of the founding fathers of our great party will not be in vain”.
