Just curious .... Why should anyone speak on the candidate's behalf? He

I believe anyone can aspire. I believe everyone should be able to 
aspire. It is left for the community to choose who they want at anytime. 
I think we took the best decision in Tanzania, by deciding that "even if 
there is only one candidate, we still must choose and be allowed to 
choose out of that one candidate"  [paraphrasing mine]. If he is a 
candidate good enough for the community and his contributions to the 
policy development process is considered good enough, why would he not 
be voted for?
