For him, the unveiling of the manifesto for the upcoming general election is aimed at securing public approval and enabling the party to continue its successful trajectory for the next five years.

 “The manifesto outlines the party's achievements, current status, and future priorities, all framed within Medemer philosophy. It is focused on healing past wounds, effectively leveraging the present, and anticipating future challenges.”
