Never in the history of any developing country has there been an opportunity to hand over the helm of the running of the country to a victorious and decorated soldier.
In many instances, men in uniforms have taken over running countries, but the process of taking over was not democratic, nor were they victorious and decorated for what they have achieved on the military front.
However, such instances can be found in the developed world (France & USA, to name a few).

Now he has relinquished his uniforms and the privileges accompanied by the title and has entered the presidential fray to take over the helm of running the country in a democratic way, putting his life in danger once more for the economic salvation of the land.
Everybody agrees without much qualm that we need a change and a fresh approach towards the way the country has to run if we truly want to get out of this economic quagmire and prepare a peaceful and economically and politically stable country for our future generations.
The choice is obvious, and I am sure that no one wants to squander this rare and unique opportunity and regret it forever by letting it go by.
