District in 2011.

party leaders to ‘let the door open for everybody. If I can have break through
the door of success, we are ready to take giant steps.’

accompanied by officials of his campaign team, said ‘a man is not blessed until
he blesses others. I joined the race to contribute my quota. I have had
discussions and coast is clear for me.’
