“The meeting considered many irregularities and suppression of democracy witnessed during the November 26 by-elections. This should be evaluated by the Central Committee," reads part of the letters whose copy was availed to The Citizen.
According to her, following that demand, regions, constituencies and wards expected to participate in the January elections have been directed to halt nomination processes.
“They will be issued with new directives after the party’s central committee sits and makes the final decision on the matter,” the letter further reads.
