Anything is possible

But EPM prepared for that too

He has been disqualified, have you been seeing post concerning him lately, people have channel there energy to another person

The waiver is already settled sofar the constitution is very clear on that, those who drag him to court on that are pursueing a case that has no legal backing.

Ignorance is a disease.. Since 1999 waiver has been granted to politicians from different political parties
