       "Every selected candidate has undergone and passed a strict vetting process to ensure they are free from any wrongdoing, free from court cases such as corruption, embezzlement and misuse of power.

       "All candidates will sign a declaration and take an oath rejecting all forms of corruption, power abuse and swear to undertake the responsibility and duty of forming a clean state government,” he added.
