This is indicative of the Citizens’ confidence, unprecedented love, and support in his leadership,” read the statement.

The candidate selection process commenced in earnest in all the 10 provinces on April 5th, 2023.CISP said nominated candidates are now undergoing the second stage of the selection process.

“Despite some teething problems necessitated by logistical challenges, the nomination process had an overwhelming response with a success rate in all the 210 constituencies and all the wards countrywide.

“The nominated candidates are now undergoing the second stage of the selection process, which is vetting, after which the vetted candidates will go for a 3rd stage of validation after which we will announce the final list of successful candidates.“In the circumstances, the Summary outcome of the Candidates Nominations after consulting with stakeholders, village and street committees is as follows:
