The statement highlighted the need to move beyond assigning blame and instead prioritise constructive dialogue and collaboration. “The time has come for us to put the blame game syndrome behind us and instead focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration. We must work together to rebuild our party and restore our reputation,” Hon. Ayeh urged.
