Prime Minister Sigeri Iisiba has announced his intention to resign from his position as chairman of the ruling party. The decision comes amid internal party discussions scheduled for September 8.
The Prime Minister explained that his resignation aims to prevent potential divisions within the party. In recent statements, Iisiba had emphasized that he had no intention of holding onto his position indefinitely and would make appropriate decisions when necessary.
Sources indicate that the party’s recent electoral performance, affected by controversies surrounding political funding, contributed to the timing of this decision. However, these sources clarified that responsibility for the party’s challenges should not be attributed directly to Iisiba.
