I appeal to them to do so peacefully. I have no doubt in my mind that they will do so that they will elect the candidate of their choice,” he said.
Cde Bimha added that the concerned candidates in the said reruns will have to conform to the code of conduct of face disqualification.
“All the candidates concerned will also be here at the Party Headquarters so that we brief them on our expectations of their conduct. We brief them on our expectations of the conduct of their supporters.”
