He stated “Lebialem Division remain a stronghold of the CPDM party. We have always won all elections. Despite the victories, we must continue to keep the flames burning by consolidating our victory. To achieve this we must continue to keep the direct contact and attach ment with the grassroots militants. We intend to record landslide with massive voter turnout. That is the main reason for the tour, to revamp the spirit of unity and loyalty to the great CPDM party”.
