He, however, dismissed the notion that:
"Any suggestion that the deceased was favoured to win the election is ridiculous to say the least. It is only a party that thrives on deception and social media stunts that would claim it was about defeating a sitting senator and past two-term governor of the state with a candidate that was largely unknown (may his soul rest in peace). Indeed, the postponement will allow the world to see how it has been scammed by the Labour Party."
