Extending CCT
Meanwhile, the party expanded the number of members of its top leadership group, the Central Command Team (CCT), from 46 to 66 members.
This includes six top officials, with the number of additional members increasing from 40 to 60 following the adoption of constitutional amendments by delegates on Saturday.
The party stipulates that the CCT should be 50% women, meaning there must be a minimum of 33 women.
