Excuses abound as Tlou accepts defeat

Tlou went into the primaries a complete novice in so far as canvassing for support in a political environment is concerned. She relied upon her campaign team to do all the work for her.

Instead of exploiting issues that could bring them closer to the electorate, they chose the negative approach which amounted to 'mudslinging'. They dwelt on the personal being of the candidates rather than reflecting on what their candidate would do if elected to parliament.
