Concerns grow over UDC’s leadership gap :: Mmegi Online

Although the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) has secured full government control, some members have expressed concern that the party's national executive committee (NEC) has not convened since the 2024 election victory.

According to these concerned members, the lack of meetings could lead to the party losing its direction. The individuals who spoke to Mmegi emphasised that the failure of the NEC to meet could result in the three different party presidents who have joined the UDC making individual decisions that should ideally be made by the committee.

One source stated: "The NEC must meet more frequently now than when we were in opposition. Key decisions should be made within the NEC. If it does not meet, it raises concerns. Some of the UDC structures are not functioning properly, and the party requires guidance from the NEC."
