To God be the glory.
On behalf of the entire Giple-Kokro Team, we extend our appreciation to every member of our community who participated in this historic election.
More than 1,011 members came out to vote, an extraordinary turnout that reflects the strength and vitality of our community. Regardless of who you supported, your participation helped strengthen our democratic process and demonstrated that our community is engaged and invested in its future.
We are humbled by the trust that has been placed in us and grateful for the countless volunteers, elders, pastors, community leaders, supporters, donors, and well-wishers who contributed their time, resources, prayers, and encouragement throughout this journey.
We also extend our congratulations and appreciation to the Watkins-Peabody Team for a spirited, competitive, and respectful campaign. Their willingness to serve and their commitment to the community deserve recognition and respect.
Now is the time to turn the page from campaigning to governing.
The election is over. The work begins.
Our priority moving forward is unity. We must bring people together, heal divisions, rebuild trust where needed, and focus on what unites us rather than what separates us. We are one community, and our success will depend on our ability to work together for the common good.
Thank you for believing in the future of our community.
May God bless each of you, and may God bless our community as we move forward together.
Albert Giple | President-Elect
