“If the population withholds its cooperation, submission and obedience, the process will lose action. I ask all our people to remain strong and vigilant. We shall call for non-violent actions. We may have to make some sacrifices and should be prepared to do so. I am confident that our people’s resolve to have non-violent change of leadership will become a reality,” said Mwesigwa Eliya, one of the guild president aspirants.
The MUST electoral commission has asked students to remain calm and has also promised that the process will be smooth without any challenges..
