He also urged the party to create room for members to vote the aspirants of their choice, adding that such move would enable popular persons to emerge as its candidates.
He stated, “What we are doing is a family affair, and everyone should be considered a family member. The party should allow popular opinion to prevail because after the primaries, we will face other political parties.
