Gatwech,
I told you before that CDR Yasir Arman will still be there as SPLM presidential candidate against Omer Bashier.
You always smesh your face with bias but the truth always revealed. I told you that his box will be still there and people will still vote for him across Sudan because SPLM withdraw him less than 45 days,and you seriously deny my sentiment.
See, a fool learn through eyes not ears. Now, i am happy indeed. FYI, this result are for one county just asection of lake State. Wait for greater lake State and you will puzzled.
Thanks

It is even troubling to me for Bashir and Lam to receive any votes in the South. People easily forger the harm these people have done to us. This shows that there are those who, Like Lam,still accept the status of being a second class citizen in Sudan, and so they wasted their votes by voting for Bashir and Lam. Shame on all those who voted for these hyenas.
