He maintained that his political base in the capital remains intact and formidable.

Samstar wrote: “You’re a joker Mr wike, if you contest Presidential election in this country. You will lose and your forefathers will hear about your loss.”

Okosostan wrote: “claims like “massive support if I run” are speculative statements and not backed by actual election results. Public opinion can shift, and predicting votes before an election is uncertain.”
