Party Organisation

The Party brings together members and supporters who share its values to develop policies and promote the election of Party representatives at all levels of the democratic process in order to build a transformed economy and society.

The party is a national party with a national structure and organs driven by its members, who belong to a Constituency Association in each of the constituencies of the country. The party is managed by the National Executive Council, which works with Provincial, District, and Constituency Executive Councils to promote the party. The National Conference drives the policies of the Party and elect members to the National Executive Council. Every five years the National Convention endorses the candidates for the General Election. The chart below illustrates our party organisation.

The National Executive Council (NEC) is the supreme decision-making body in matters of the Party organisation and management. The NEC comprises twenty members including:

  • The President of the Party
  • The Chairperson of the Party, who will chair the NEC in the absence of the President and act as the President’s representative
  • Two Vice Chairpersons – One of whom is the Chairperson of the National Conference/Convention
  • Ten further Party Members selected by the National Conference
  • The Secretary-General of the Party who leads the professional staff of the party
