“The membership registration, ward/LG congresses and the upcoming State Congresses. These are monumental land marks which the party has achieved in so short a time, under the able leadership of H.E (Hon) Mai Mala Buni.

“Mr. President, as the leader of the party had in his wisdom, directed that the party be returned to the people and that is the trajectory the party has been moving. The party is being returned to the true owners of the party – the masses.”
