I experienced a mixture of feelings. Like all the Alliance Lepep candidates, I was shocked, dismayed, sad, dejected... especially since a few days before the elections, we thought we were heading for a great victory. The people chose, they are the ones who decide, we can only respect that choice. What happened was also God's will. What saddened me most during this election period was the fact that I wasn't a candidate in constituency No. 14, to which I am still very attached, and where I have forged ties with the residents. Even at the start, I didn't even have a ticket. It was a relatively difficult time for me. But that's politics, and we were in a strategic configuration. Finally, I landed in constituency No. 17 (Editor's note: Curepipe/Midlands), but I still have good memories of it.
I'm taking a moment to digress. I won't say I've distanced myself from politics... I'm not writing it off. Just as I didn't write it off when I joined the MSM. I'm simply giving myself five years to move on. When you've been in politics, you continue to follow what's happening there. I pay close attention, for example, to parliamentary proceedings.
