He added that members of the committee were currently reviewing all petitions and compiling reports for submission to the party leadership.
“The process is still ongoing because the day’s activities have not ended,” he said.
Mr Ujam maintained that the committee’s mandate was strictly limited to reviewing complaints related to the conduct of the primaries.
He, however, declined to disclose details of the petitions, insisting that deliberations and findings would remain confidential until the review process is concluded.
