The outspoken socio-political commentator asked individuals seeking political office "to offer a better alternative to the public".

He wrote:

"One thing we learnt from the UK Election 2024 is this: If you want to win an election, focus on telling the public what you want to do first and how you would govern the country better."Do not concentrate on attacking the government in power or your other opponents."You could do that, but it should not be your single issue. You have to offer a better alternative to the public."

Legit.ng reports that Keir Starmer is the UK's new prime minister (PM) after his Labour Party swept to power in a landslide general election victory on Thursday, July 4, 2024.

The Conservative Party suffered a dramatic collapse after a tumultuous 14 years in power, which saw five different PMs run the country.
