He also said that not only current party members but also acceptable and hardworking leaders from other political parties would be allowed to apply for nomination under the NCP banner.

However, those accused of oppression, abuse, or links with what he described as fascist forces would not be considered.

He added that after proper scrutiny, leaders from other political parties who wish to join NCP and contest under its banner may also be given the opportunity.
