Chaponda emphasized the party’s commitment to fairness and inclusivity, noting, “Unlike other parties, whose positions are often concentrated within a single region or tribe, our party will demonstrate a different approach. All positions will be up for grabs during the conference, underscoring our dedication to equitable distribution of leadership roles.”
