"We’ve met here with virtually all the organs of the party, including Amani Congress and other leadership within our party. We’ve also engaged with all the elected ANC officials, including MCAs and MPs," he said.
Mudavadi commended ANC leaders for their steadfastness, and emphasised the importance of strategic positioning.
"In Africa, it is not easy to defeat an incumbent president seeking a second term. Stay vigilant and never underestimate even the weakest government," said Mudavadi.
