Also, a former member of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, added that it was already clear that the convention would not hold, because things needed for a successful convention have not been put in place.
“People have not bought forms and people cannot buy forms if the zoning is not done, and forms cannot come out until the zoning is done. That is when aspirants will know what kind of forms they are buying. If you don’t know the zoning, you can’t buy a form.
“There are no committees; all the sub-committees have not been set up as we speak. I remember that at the last convention, there were over 20 committees besides the main convention committee.” - He added.
