No rogues can play anymore hoodwinking the voters anymore, and the election is a vital part of Democracy that every fellow citizen expect to vote on their preferred leaders, suppressing the rights is UNDEMOCRATIC and tyranny.

What a waste of time, no wonder the country can't progress, just give a date and get on with it. People have other things to do, like working and putting food on the table
