The LP’s State Chairman emphasized the importance of collaboration between the newly formed directorate and other key party figures, including the Youth Leader and Organising Secretary. This collaborative approach aims to ensure seamless coordination and efficient execution of the directorate’s activities. By working in tandem with these key stakeholders, the directorate is expected to leverage the party’s existing organizational structures and resources to maximize its impact. This integrated approach further demonstrates the LP’s commitment to building a cohesive and effective political machine.
