Officials of the United Transformation Movement (UTM) are set to gather this Friday for a crucial meeting to chart the course forward following the tragic loss of their leader, Saulos Chilima, in a fatal plane crash on June 10th earlier this year.
UTM spokesperson Felix Njawala confirmed that this upcoming meeting will mark the first formal gathering of party officials since the untimely demise of Saulos Chilima. Among the primary agenda items will be discussions on the future direction of the party in light of this significant leadership transition.
“In addition to reflecting on the loss of our beloved leader, we will be deliberating on various matters crucial to the party’s continuity and effectiveness,” stated Njawala.
Key among the topics to be addressed is the preparation for the party’s upcoming general assembly, which holds pivotal importance for the UTM’s organizational structure and strategy moving forward.
