We want to state categorically that we haven’t agreed with the so called consensus arrangements.
“Truly, some leaders of the party met us to find solution to the issues but we made our stand known by saying no to imposition, let Democratic process takes effect. We didn’t agree at the meeting that the imposition should stand.”
