” Is that the only place you have seen branded cars?
“I have seen branded cars by state House of Assembly Candidate with just pictures of others running for House of Reps in their localities
“Anybody that branded cars with his own money… You see, you can’t force them to put my own picture or someone else’s picture so as to vote for him”, Makinde said.
