I also congratulate the winners of both parties and extend my sympathy to those who lost.
As you move on to private life, you have my best wishes for continued success and satisfaction.

THE PEOPLE have spoken, and for 26 years I have accepted the verdict of the people, which is the essence of our system of free government.
