“They are not necessarily going to storm; they can attend the NDC, and we hope they will attend the NDC,” she said, highlighting the importance of allowing delegates to participate freely while maintaining order.
Wanga acknowledged the impact of losing a party leader, describing it as a serious moment for the party. “We lost our leader, and that is a serious matter.
We are stabilizing as we move forward,” she said. Her remarks point to ongoing efforts to manage the transition and ensure that the party remains focused on its long-term goals.
The governor also addressed differences of opinion among party members, noting that varying perspectives are normal but should not undermine the party’s stability.
“People can have different opinions, as in the case of Sifuna. They can do something different in the manner in which they are doing, but the party must stabilize,” she said.
Wanga’s comments underscore the reality that political parties often experience internal disagreements, especially during periods of transition.
She encouraged members to engage constructively and respect the processes of the NDC, which serves as a platform for leadership decisions, policy formulation, and discussion of party direction.
She further acknowledged that some members may choose to leave the party, noting that such decisions are beyond the control of party leadership.
“Some people will decide to leave, and you can’t stop them,” Wanga said.
She stressed that while departures may occur, they should not distract from the collective mission of strengthening the party.
Political analysts say Wanga’s remarks reflect a balancing act: recognizing individual rights while maintaining institutional stability.
Her emphasis on party cohesion is intended to reassure members that internal disagreements are natural but must not derail the party’s work.
