“This is regardless of whether or not one has bought a new party card. The DP district executive committees will send DP registers to all villages. It is these registers that will be used for party elections,†Mukiibi said.
The party held elections for the parish delegates’ conference yesterday. It will today hold elections for the sub-county delegates’ conference and on Thursday for the constituency delegates’ conference. Elections for the district delegates’ conference is on November 12.
The DP national delegates’ conference had earlier been scheduled for October 30 but was postponed to allow grassroots elections to be completed.
