At the Committee’s inauguration last December, Buni said it would pursue strategic engagements and broad consultations aimed at producing sustainable solutions to the party’s challenges.

He noted that the objective was to foster unity, inclusiveness and a renewed sense of belonging among both long-standing and new members, particularly aggrieved stakeholders.
