This leadership overhaul aims to directly challenge the opposition Move Forward Party by attracting young voters and regaining popularity lost in recent elections.
Many new executives are children or close relatives of veteran party figures, blending fresh faces with established political family legacies within the party.
The new leadership is committed to a "great and important mission" to strengthen the party, enhance its appeal, and compete vigorously for voter support.
