The PAA chairman said the party is getting popular each day and attracting many candidates who would want to contest in the party in the oncoming general elections.
“We expect to receive so many candidates in our party because there will be so many fallouts from UDA, ODM, so we are welcoming them, this is PAA come to a house that is not leaking,” he said.
Hamisi said the party will do their nominations in different ways including consensus where there will be need and nominations together with agreements between candidates.
