The LP presidential candidate consequently urged the people to reject other parties at the polls even if they bring money to buy their votes. He argued that the coming election will be different from others as it will be about character and competence and not about religion or tribe.

”If they give you money, collect it and vote against them, because it is your money. Tell them you want to follow those who know the road, that you are tired of being in the wilderness."
