Jones explained that throughout the past week, all party groups, including those in diaspora, received the nomination forms from the Party’s headquarters on which they were allowed to enter the names of the leaders they prefer.
“They will meet and have their own discussions and come up with who is right. After the groups have deliberated on who should be placed where, the forms would have to be resubmitted to Congress Place,” Jones explained. He added that those nominations could be handed into Congress Place on an earlier date.
Every group that has 10 financial members was entitled to one delegate.
