One of the most powerful positions in the BDP governing structure is the secretary general (SG).

This is the challenge that every passionate democrat is pondering on as the party is now charged with the responsibility of electing a secretary general at the 2017 Tonota elective congress. The party‘s fortunes have been dwindling in the last few years and the future could depend on who is going to get the nod for the secretary general post.
