<p>-1 Andrew.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>My reasoning is that, running and losing an election doesnt necessarily translate into rejection. After all the loser tends to always also have a constituence.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Losing an election simply means the one who won got more votes from the electorate and the one who lost or came 2nd got less votes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Folk who come 2nd or lose an election should never be stopped from running again because no one in this community has a right to stop anyone from contesting as many times as they can.<o:p></o:p></p>
