| Article (8): mandate of the higher
organisational level
|
|
Each of the organisational levels is authorised to supervise the work of
inferior levels to see whether their membership is on the increase. At the same
time, each of these organisational levels acts as a middle link that refers the
suggestions of an inferior level to a superior one. They also inform inferior
levels about the directives of the superior levels. A superior level also has
the right to ask an inferior level to reconsider its decisions when it deems
them in contradiction with the Party structure or the programs of the party. If
the inferior level does not respond positively to the demands of the superior
level within two weeks, the latter has the right to decide on the issue itself
while its decisions would be considered binding.

reckons fit for the interests of the party. The General Secretariat has the
right to reform a party committee, a unit or an office, if there is an urgent
need for that, while its decision in this regard has to be presented to the
following general convention.
The Chairman of the Party has the right to change the Political Bureau or the

The general convention of the party is held every four years upon a decision by
the Chairman of the Party. The annual conference of the party is held in each
of the three years that follow the general convention upon a decision by the
Party Chairman also. Both the general convention and the annual conference must
be held during the last quarter of the year. The electoral conferences of the
party units, districts, and governorates would be held during the year of the
general conference upon a decision by the Party Chairman in a way that allows
for the formations of these party units, districts, governorates to be complete
30 days before the general conference is held. The annual conferences of these
units are held during the first quarter of each year upon a decision by the
General Secretariat except on the year when the general conference would be
held. In any case, the Party Chairman has the right to call for an emergency
general conference or annual Conference at any time if necessary. The decision
to hold an emergency conference or annual Conference must also show whether
deliberations in the conference mean to re-elect the Party Chairman or reform
any of the organisational levels of the party.
