Pangu Pati endorsed candidate for Sohe Open, Maureen Duwang, nominated today to contest the seat currently held by incumbent, Delilah Gore.
Following a massive display of support by supporters of Gore numbering in the thousands and travelling in truckloads, Maureen quietly strolled in after Gore’s nomination with a Pangu Pati flag and a handful of supporters and witnesses.
