The three-day TGA will provide a platform for top leaders and grassroots members to meet as well as discuss and address any issues.
A total of 44 divisions are participating in the TGA as representatives and observers while some divisions are temporarily suspended due to technical problems.

MICK MAILEN PANTING, 37
I am excited to be here because this is my first time contesting for a post in the youth section. I hope the TGA will go well and smoothly. Regardless whether one wins or loses, it is important to remain united in our effort to further strengthen and develop the party.
DR FLORENCE CHRISTY, 58
For this TGA, I hope the women’s section will have more stability and a louder voice to empower each other. I believe that it is important for the women to have equal representation be it in politics, economy, or social. At the same time, I also hope that the party will always stay united because we are stronger when we are united.
IDA MANI, 50
This is my first time attending the TGA, so I am very excited to be here. My hope is that the TGA will run smoothly without any conflicts. After the TGA, I hope everyone will work well together for the party and people’s benefits.
SUSANA SUDAU SARI, 47
I am proud to see all of us gathered here to be a part of the TGA. This is an important platform that provides us the opportunity to meet with the top leaders and inform them of any issues at the grassroots level.
