State Working Committee was mandated to organize and communicate date for same.

“Pursuant to the provision of the new Party Constitution, which gives each State Chapter the opportunity of producing one additional member of the Board of Trustees member, SEC zoned same to the Southern Senatorial District considering the fact that both the Central and Northern Districts are represented, ” he said.

Akans added that, “SEC also approved the appointment of two physically challenged persons into the CAUCUS of the party in line with the Party’s constitution.

According to him, “The Meeting also approved the zoning of the party’s governorship position to the Southern zone for the purposes of the 2019 general elections.

Those present at the meeting were Senators Jeremiah Useini, Jonah Jang, other national and state assembly members, among others.

It would be recalled that the party’s failure to file a candidate from the Southern Zone led to its defeat in the 2015 gubernatorial polls.
