Article (14): forming and dissolving party units
Article (15): Party unit conferences
Article (16): Party Unit Committee
Article (14): forming and dissolving party units
Public participation in party activities takes place within the framework of party unit membership. A party unit consists of members from the area where the unit exists. The unit must contain a minimum of 200 members. A decision to form, dissolve or absolve a party unit from the 200-people membership condition comes from the General Secretariat upon a proposal by the secretary of the district or the governorate of the unit. Proper Procedures should be taken into account when forming or dissolving party units.
Article (15) Party unit conference
The electoral or annual conference of a party unit must be attended by unit members to do the following jobs:
1- Elect members of the party unit committee in the light of article No 16 of the Party Structure.
2- Endorse and supervising the party plan in the unit and its budget.
3- Promote membership in the unit.
4- Discuss the reports of the party unit.
5- Study the problems of the public to suggest solutions for them. The conference of the unit is supposed to be headed by the secretary of the unit or the assistant secretary in case the secretary is not there. For a party unit conference to be held 30, per cent of the members of the unit must attend it. These members must also meet three times after the curtain is pulled down on the conference to see whether the decisions of the conference are put into action.  
Article (16) Party Unit Committee
The party unit committee consists of 25 members of which the electoral conference of the unit elects 20. The bureau of the governorate office chooses the remaining five members in the light of the recommendations of the governorate districts. The membership of 25 per cent of the members of the unit committee is renewed randomly in the annual conference that follows the formation of the committee.
Secretaries of the unit committees and their assistants would be exonerated from this annual membership renewal while the percentage of elected members to chosen members would remain the same. Those who lose their membership in the draw can run for a unit membership. However, the whole unit would be changed in the following electoral conference. The bureau of the governorate office would pick the following seven secretaries from the members of the unit committee as follows:
1- Unit Secretary
2- Assistant Secretary for organisation affairs
3- Fund Trustee
4- Secretary of labourers
5- Secretary of farmers
6- Secretary of youth
7- Secretary of women
The party unit committee convenes once a week upon an invitation from the party unit secretary or upon directives from a superior party level. For the committee to convene 30 per cent of the unit members must attend. The meeting would be headed by the unit secretary or the assistant unit secretary in case the secretary is not there.
