THE FACES, VOICES AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY BECAME MY COMPASS; NOW I AM A CANDIDATE TOGETHER WITH THEM

I came from a long road. Along the way, I filled my saddlebags with the stories of the people of this beautiful country. Their faces, their voices, and their yearnings became my compass. Now I am a candidate together with them. We want to change this order they call our fate.

My dear people, my dear friends, my dear brothers and sisters, do you know who the candidates are?

EVERYONE WHO WANTS 418 BILLION DOLLARS BACK IS A CANDIDATE

Not just me, 84 million candidates, 84 million!

You know, the 84 million they thought they were scaring with SADAT militants.

Those 84 million whose bread, water and future have been stolen; those 84 million are also candidates. Everyone who wants the 418 billion dollars they stole back is a candidate.

WE WILL WIN UNITED

You will not just vote for me; you will vote for yourself, your loved ones, and your future because you are the ones who will change this order. This is the beginning of a total change. We will give back to the people what has been stolen from them. Together we will establish the order we deserve. We will win by uniting. The candidate is not me, and it's all of us.

Yes, I told you we were starting. So, dear people, here we go!
