“Our programs will continue to roll on in the normal course of things. So we want to assure teeming members of the APC across the country to come out and elect officers at the ward level. This party believes so much in grassroot politics, grassroot democracy; that is the strength of the party.

“So we encourage all members to come out tomorrow and elect leaders of their choice at that level before we move to the next stage of our democratization process and constitution of the leadership of the party. This is in a nutshell the message from the party and the Secretariat.”

On parallel Congresses, prof Tahir denied that the party is not aware of any parallel congresses going on. “Some of the states are having problems in them and the Caretaker Committee has been working very hard to ensure all the parties work together and remember the decision of the party is for consensus if possible.”

“If there is no consensus, members will be free to go into election. This party is not about imposing leaderships on its members. So there is no reason for any parallel congresses at all because it is plural system.”

“If 10 people come out to contest for a particular position so be it. The voters; card carrying members of the party will decide eventually who the members are.”
