We commend the minority judgment of the lower court and we believe the truth will prevail.

Thank God we have another opportunity to seek justice at the Supreme Court, which I believe will not be delayed or denied. The party will appeal the judgement as we believe in the ability of the judiciary to do justice, however we plead with our members ,leaders and supporters to calm down as we keep hope alive. If this is a price to pay, to keep our democracy alive and opposition strengthened, we are prepared to go the whole hug. The party organs will meet shortly to take concrete steps and decisions on the way forward", he said.
