The former Foreign Minister added that the campaign period had been meaningful, giving him the opportunity to meet residents as well as leaders from various political parties ahead of the election.
“I truly enjoyed meeting the people and fellow leaders. I am grateful for the chance to engage with them, regardless of their political leanings. What matters most is strengthening our ties with one another.
“I have no regrets. I had a good campaign, and if the results favour me, then Alhamdulillah,” he said.
