Airing his own opinion, Ahmed said, “We don’t go out of our way looking for people to come just because they want to defect or we want to weaken the opposition. I thought personally that the opposition was just unbelievably weak.
“I am not a fan of defectors in political parties. The political and democratic spirit in me does not appreciate defections.
“What I’m saying is that we are merrier every time somebody comes to us. I thought, personally, that the opposition was just unbelievably weak. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
“They couldn’t take advantage of so many issues to better their lots,” he said.
