It has been a real honour and privilege working for and with you on matters and issues that border on our common interests and for which I do not take lightly. From the depths of my heart, I say Thank You, “she stated in a letter that refuted widespread speculations that she intends to run as an independent candidate in the December 7 2024 elections.
