In response to a question on whether she will be contesting in the upcoming general election, Akbar says time will tell and if the party will have her – it will be an honor.

“I hope that I will be better soon, with all the support I have been given. I feel much better now. My support for my party is always going to be there. I really need to get my health in order now, so that I am fit to continue serving and doing what I do.”
