Another member of the irate youth sent a cautioned to leadership of the party to as a matter of urgency address the matter if they want peace to prevail within the party.

“We are expected to vote on Saturday (22 October). And so, if you tell me, you are awaiting a call from above then it means I will be disenfranchised. If the party wants peace, they should take steps to resolve this issue or else they will face our wrath,” he warned.
