THE local Republican Party may amend its bylaws regarding its precinct clubs, according to GOP spokesman Kimo A. Rosario.
He said a general membership meeting has been set for Thursday, 6 p.m., at the Garapan Central Park.
“The purpose of the meeting is to unveil a proposal aimed at amending certain provisions of the party’s bylaws — specifically, those governing the establishment and organization of precinct clubs,” Rosario said in an e-mail yesterday.
He said he is not at liberty to discuss the proposed amendments prior to the meeting.
According to a statement from the party, “The purpose of these amendments is to ensure equal representation of the GOP’s general membership at the precinct-level by assigning precinct leaders from each of the villages that make up a precinct club and to empower the respective precinct clubs by assigning them additional authority over precinct matters.”
Asked about the recent meeting of GOP’s Precinct 4 Club and its decision not to nominate Rep. Candido B. Taman, R-Saipan, for a second term, Rosario said he had no comment.
