Banky W said: “Our elections have been postponed until Feb 23rd. One more week to spread the word. Delay is not denial. We will be here. While we are all frustrated, please spare a thought for people who are most affected by the postponement… like our corpers who had to spend the night in terrible sleeping conditions, people who had weddings or other milestone occasions planned, etc. May God help us all”
