Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The National Unity Democratic Organisation Youth League\u2019s elective conference is finally set to take place this weekend after postponements due to internal squabbles.<\/p>\n

The two-day conference, which is expected to experience fierce contestation after more members have raised their hands to be elected into leadership positions, is expected to take place in Windhoek at the Shalom Centre tomorrow and Sunday. NUDOYL acting secretary-general Veparura Kandirikirira told New Era yesterday that the national executive committee of the youth league appointed an organising committee of 11 members to execute their mandate, whereby the secretary-general\u2019s office of the youth league is a member.<\/p>\n

Kandirikirira said the congress is expected to be graced by 120 delegates from the country\u2019s 14 regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis congress will not only elect new leadership, but will amend our constitution, and we will modernise it to guide us into a transformed wing. Furthermore, we have drafted an action plan which will be discussed and amended by the congress before approval,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The action plan will consist of activities and a programme of action that the new leadership will be expected to execute and report back to the central committee of the youth league every year. \u201cThis action plan will equally consist of our position on youth matters. We are not only going to elect, but we will pave the way for a better NUDO for 2024 elections, more especially the role that we have to play as the youth of NUDO for the party to attract young voters,\u201d said the youthful Kandirikirira.<\/p>\n

The congress\u2019 organising committee has been in the field since January, doing restructuring of the branches to ensure that there\u2019s transparency in the process.<\/p>\n

On the issues of candidature for positions, Kandirikirira stated that the party constitution is clear that nominations should be done on the floor during the congress.<\/p>\n

The congress will elect eight top officials and 20 members of the national council (central committee).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a youth league executive committee resolution that states clearly on the slates\u2019 issue, and that we will not tolerate slates. Any members who attempt that will be brought before a DC,\u201d he stressed. \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t be misquoted. We are not prohibiting individuals from running for positions, but they shouldn\u2019t group themselves,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Besides the amendments to the constitution and the action plan, Kandirikirira said the organisational report will equally be tabled by himself, which will highlight all the work of the youth league since the last congress.<\/p>\n

Party president Utjiua Muinjangue is expected to open the conference. The last NUDOYL congress was held in 2013 in Okakarara, Otjozondjupa region.<\/p>\n
