It is for us to hold ourselves together as a political family and say, that what we lost on the streets, we will regain at the roundabout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this election also taught a lot of lessons three lessons. One of the lessons is that the East now know more than ever before, that they cannot become governor alone. You will have to collaborate with another zone to become governor. And I want to believe that it is not over yet, it is not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second lesson is also for those of us from the West. That next time we should listen to words of wisdom from our elders and not from commercialized characters, not from those who because of their individual and selfish interests created problems for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I pray that as we are all here, we should keep that at the back of our mind. Keep it watered, let it be fresh.
