A Congress of the Nelson Chamisa led CCC will cost the party a minimum of US$2 million, the Party's Secretary General Charlton Hwende has said.
Responding to pressures from its various stakeholders who are calling for a Congress Hwende said, "The two biggest cost centers in a political party are 1. Congress 2. General Elections. There is no sane party that holds both events in the same year because to have a congress for CCC you need US$2Mil (min) and an election a min of USD$150Mil. Politics is a very expensive game."
Hwende added that the party is now focused on the roadmap towards the 2023 elections.
"We are less than 12months before an election and the 3 critical priority areas are 1. Voter registration 2. Candidates selection and Polling Agents training 3. Fundraising. Let's not be distracted from these 3 key areas that will guarantee us a landslide victory in 2023."

(Before By-Elections)
THEM: We are a new party with no constitution and no ideology; we have no officials but one; all other positions are vacant!(After By-Elections)
THEM: We have no vacancies, no congress before 2023 polls. We want to win power!
