A disturbing level of apathy and anomie now pervades the party as a result of the profound sense of marginalization and, in some cases, outright exclusion which is experienced by many critical stakeholders as well as members of the party.
Continuing in the protest Letter it was stated that “The Delegate System, otherwise called Indirect Primaries will rely on the whims and caprices of the few that now control the party after emerging from ward, local government and state congresses that have been widely rejected by party members as a sham.
“Hundreds of party members who bought forms with a view to vying for various wards, local governments and state party executive positions were not deliberately excluded from the process and in some instances even intentionally blocked from submitting their forms nor were they even consulted ahead of the so-called processes of affirmation of officials of the party. Instead, the names of all party executives were single handedly written by the Governor. That alienated many of our party members and caused mass exodus from the party.”
