For the first time in its history, the party found itself in a difficult position, having to seek two separate legal opinions on the issue. The BCP elective conference is an assembly that chooses the party leadership. According to a source, the legal opinions were conflicting, with one advising that the conference should proceed while the other warned that doing so would contravene the party's constitution.
During the consultations, there was a suggestion that the conference could be held in 2025, a year after the General Election, thus giving the central committee ample time to manage party affairs.
