“Yes, somebody is saying the east has not had a president. I agree and I sympathise. But the constitution says you can only become president through the ballot box.

He added  “We have been saying it during elections that every vote must count. So, why do you want to zone?

“Let us just go by merit. Let every party find a way of selling itself in a manner that will garner the kind of votes that will win the election. It is as simple as that.

Do we have anything like that in the American constitution? Are we more democratic than the Americans?

“It is democracy. Why do you want to change it? Wishful thinking only. How do you zone it?,” he added.
