They emphasized the importance of the trust shown by the voters, even though the votes were insufficient for them to secure governance of the PAO at this time. Local elections remain a priority for the People's Party, reflecting its commitment to the principles of decentralization and local administration, aiming to enhance urban development and imp rove citizens' quality of life.

Reflecting on his candidacy, Mr. Decharat emphasized the value of participating in the democratic process, allowing him to address public concerns and aspirations. Although the election did not result in him becoming PAO chairman, he remains committed to advocating for change through various platforms, including his role as the director of the party's policy center.
