In an interview on Monday, she acknowledged that the recent elective congress revealed underlying internal misunderstandings within the party that urgently need to be addressed. "The disorganisation during our congress clearly indicates that there are problems within the party. Many of the challenges we faced could have been resolved beforehand.

"Firstly, my focus will be on bringing closer those women who contested under different lobbies to collaborate with us. We weren't enemies; we were simply competing to lead the organisation. I firmly believe that the BNFWL needs a constitution in order to function effectively and efficiently. The problems we encountered are largely due to the absence of a formal constitution," she added.
