The East African Legislative Assembly Member of Parliament (MP) said, "We have come today and we expected that we would meet with the old authorities as we shake hands, but they are not around and instructed the staff not to report."

However, he continued, "We want to reassure you that as of right now, we are in office lawfully, will adhere to all procedures, and all former officials will be allowed to defend themselves openly.

Even though Kega was saying this, the Kioni-led side made it known that there was only one way for party members to communicate.

The Party rejected an earlier announcement of the induction of new members via its official Twitter account.
