It is the day to put aside resentments and stand up with seriousness, calmness and embrace.”.
Broad Participation and Harmonized Governance: Pointing out that this crisis process should be managed with common sense, not with “what ifs”, the former chairman announced that he would act in full harmony and cooperation with former chairmen, Party Assembly members, MPs, provincial and district presidents.
”No one should worry, we will lead our party out of these discussions and continue its march to power. I invite everyone to calmness and common sense, we are together!”
