"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."
