In making a decision, SPEC considered values such as integrity, consistency, nation-wide structure, inclusion and excellence. He sought a party that is genuinely invested in the wellbeing and development of the people and he found all of these in ADC. Also, he wanted a platform that would embrace innovation and youth inclusion in activities and decision-making, giving an opportunity for both women and youth as well as men from all walks of life to take charge of the nation’s affairs at all levels.

It was also important to him to join a party with a strong presence and appeal at the grassroots, one that is in touch with the realities of the people and is committed to restoring their individual and collective dignity.

Lastly, he wanted a platform that valued a different type of thinking and gave him a fair chance of contesting at the presidential elections based solely on skills and merit.
