“A sustained electioneering period, beyond the 60 days mandated by the constitution and pronounced by the Supreme Court, will not in any way advantage you or the people you are seeking to vote.
“The ardor of your supporters will be dampened. Their strength will soon be exhausted. Their spirit will wane,” Kethi wrote.
