The convention has also attracted representatives from other political parties, including the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and People’s Party (PP), signifying its broad political significance.
Convention chairperson, Lekani Loka, expressed confidence that the event would mark a turning point for the party.
“This convention is not just about electing leaders; it is a moment to reaffirm our commitment to unity and progress,” Loka said.

On the other hand, party general secretary, Patricia Kaliati said unity and resilience have been a pillar for the party’s progress.
