That is why I would like to assure each member of this great movement of my office and the party’s commitment for a successful campaign after this launch. As the saying goes ‘a house divided against itself’ cannot stand . . . United we stand; divided we fall! Aspirants Unite for Victory is a clear sign that we are a team solidly knitted together for the battle of 2020 which, Isha Allah, we shall win”, said.
