The Federal Congress, when in session, is the highest decision making body of the Party and can therefore do all things that a Federal Council is empowered to do. The Federal Congress shall meet once every five years and among its functions is the election of the leadership of the Party namely the President, Deputy President, Secretary General, deputy Secretary General, Chairman, deputy Chairman, the Treasurer and deputy Secretary. Save in the event of a replacement having to be elected as provided for in clause 10.3, no person may be elected to fill any of the positions in the Party leadership except at a Federal Congress.

As the highest decision making body of the Party whilst in session, any matter may be raised and decided on at the Federal Congress. All decisions shall be made by a simple majority vote of the eligible delegates.

The only exception to this shall be any amendment of this Constitution which shall require a two thirds vote of eligible delegates. All the decisions of the Federal Congress shall be binding on the Party and all its structures.

The following are eligible delegates at a Federal Congress:
• The President, Deputy President, the Secretary General and Chairman, the Deputy Secretary
