I can feel your souls and spirits splitting up. For especially the youth who gave their all for this campaign, I can understand your pain. I’m more pained and saddened that we disappointed you. I feel your anger,” he said.
He emphasized the need for a thorough postmortem to identify the root causes of the defeat, aiming to steer the party toward meaningful reforms and a stronger resurgence.
“The results of the elections communicate loudly about the apathy of our base and the effect of economic issues. So many other reasons are on the table, and it begs for a full-blown and proper postmortem to unravel the causes of the defeat. This will help us rebound stronger and better,” he added.
