According to Mr Gento, he is also in doubt about the outcome of the June 24th election. ECSL Wuna chap bad bad one. Gento say the election nor fair, free and credible.
Mr Gento are you really sure of your statement?
Gento was dreaming by saying he won the June mayour election.
Your ought to be ashamed of your statement. Wild and unfounded. The popularity of Yvonne Akie Sawyerr was unrivaled. Even with the perceived aid from the powers that be you did not win. Get this into your head.
