“The problem is that the tenure of the sacked executive members expired over the weekend.
“You will recall that we have conducted our ward congress before the issue of lockdown, which has affected almost everything in the country.
“We decided to suspend the congress till after the lockdown and being a law-abiding party, our leaders follow the rules and regulations to dissolve the exco.
“To avoid a vacuum, the immediate past executive, under the leadership of Ibrahim Milgoma, has been asked to take charge as the caretaker committee.
“There is no difference between then and now; the leadership still remains but henceforth, it will be addressed as the caretaker committee.”
