I Am Disappointed at the EC

He indicated that he was disappointed about EC’s inability to communicate their disqualifications to them individually prior to the announcement adding the development does not augur well for a commission of such nature.

“I don’t even have notice that I have been disqualification, it was my friends who called me from America to tell me about the disqualification. It doesn’t augur well if EC talks to us about everything, why couldn’t they inform us about our disqualification and all of a sudden the news is everywhere without prior knowledge of the parties involved”.

The PAP founder was of the view that his disqualification was perpetrated by the EC together with the government because he was a threat to the two major parties in the country and also to disrespect the disqualified aspirants.
