I'm not able to say about the Muda candidate. I'm not even sure who the candidate is. Let it be the voters. In the case of Wetrom this is a sign of democratic process. I'm not sure why he's so obsessed with being an double YB (an assemblyman and a member of the parliament). However, for me, we'll fight for a long time.
