We might sound repetitive. As in previous elections, we only give you the candidates’ names; the rest is your decision. It’s been a long campaign and candidates have been very eloquent about their platforms.
By now, we hope your mind is made up. Even if it is not, you most go out and vote. It’s your duty. It’s not only your civic obligation but a privilege!
