The formation of these committees follows the conclusion of the party’s internal elections that ended last Saturday with the elections of its parliamentary candidates in constituencies with sitting Members of Parliament (MPs) for the 2024 general election.

The party began its reorganisation towards the 2024 polls with its internal elections from the polling stations through the constituency, regional and national levels in 2022.

That was followed by the flag bearer election and the parliamentary primaries in constituencies where the party has no MPs often referred to as orphan constituencies in 2023 and concluded with the selection of parliamentary candidates in constituencies the party has MPs on January 27, 2024.

Through these internal elections, some issues might have a way of affecting party cohesion and unity ahead of the 2024 general election.

It was as a result of these internal party events and activities that the leadership of the party, in consultation with the respective Regional Executive Committees, constituted the regional reconciliation committees to resolve all disagreements to promote unity and oneness ahead of the general election.
