The head of Nudo plans to step down from her leadership role. Esther Muinjangue told people she gave notice about leaving back in March. This comes right after Joseph Kauandenge quit his job as secretary general on Wednesday. Both say they will stay members of the party despite leaving their top jobs.
A deputy leader named Joseph Uapingene claims he did not know Muinjangue wanted to resign. He remembers her mentioning it during a meeting months ago, but the group decided it was bad timing. The party will hold talks on Saturday to discuss both departures. Kauandenge left because he failed to stop fighting within the party for five years.
The group split into two sides before the recent elections—one team behind Muinjangue and another supporting Barry Rukoro. This division hurt the party, which lost support among voters. Rukoro believes both leaders quit because they lost their parliament seats after poor election results. He thinks they might join other political groups soon.
