In a related development, the General Secretary has announced that his office will be opened effective October 19, to receive proposals or motions for constitutional amendments from the members of the Party.
This is in reference to Article 19 of the Party Constitution, which mandates the General Secretary to receive notice or proposals for amendments to the Party Constitution not later than two months before the National Annual Delegates Conference.
Just like the just ended Constituency Annual Delegates Conferences, the Regional Conferences will also be held in strict compliance with Covid-19 health protocols.
The party has meanwhile embarked on a mass registration drive and declared the month of September as the month of mass membership registration and updating of existing names in the polling station register.
This will see the party undertake a nationwide exercise of compiling a register of all members of the party as well as persons wishing to be members.
