I wasn't referring to the incumbent leadership. There is no excuse why the country hasn't been developed far beyond the point it is at now by the current leadership. That is still no reason to introduce a possible president whose election to the highest office of this land could well spell dark days for this country and even less development for those who support him.

This country needs new and inspired leadership not someone who loyally tows the party line, whichever party that may be.
