After he won the victory (to enter the parliament, or whatever) he made an hour-long speech. An hour-long speech is too long, so he had to be prepared for a speech in case of the victory. That's why that it is difficult to believe that he was unprepared for the situation and made up the entire speech after he found out of the victory.
