An unhappy Alexander was captured in a secretly filmed video, demanding a refund of the bribe he allegedly paid to some assembly members after they rejected him during a nearly chaotic confirmation process.
The rejected nominee was captured in a video hurling insults and curses at some individuals believed to be assembly members for accepting his money but refusing to confirm him as the substantive MCE for the area.
He was also seen angrily exchanging words with some assembly members and demanding the return of monies paid to them.
He demanded that everyone who accepted the cash "return his money urgently".
