People gave an overwhelming response, which was obvious because they were too done with the traditional ways of politics and with the traditional politicians. 2018 election was his first election and he won the election as Independent Candidate by a heavy margin of 16883 votes, he managed to get 46.46% of total votes which was mind shaking for opponents.
