It should be pointed out that at its last congress in Dormund early this year, congress decided that all matters relating to the election of flagbearer SHALL be referred to members for discussion and determination. The rationale is to empower party members and also give them a sense of belonging and participation in the decision making process.
Thus, the internal elections that took place on Sunday is simply giving meaning and effect to the decision of congress which is the highest decision making body of our party.
