A senior delegation from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party is in China for a high-level benchmarking mission aimed at laying the groundwork for the official launch of the UDA Leadership School, a key pillar in the party’s long-term institutional development agenda. As the UDA Leadership School nears its launch, party leaders say it is critical to learn from political institutions that have demonstrated longevity, discipline and ideological clarity. The benchmarking exercise is expected to inform the structure, curriculum and governance model of the UDA Party School, which will offer training to elected leaders, party officials, aspiring candidates and grassroots organisers. Party insiders say the UDA Leadership School is part of a broader strategy to professionalise politics, nurture disciplined leadership and reduce personality-driven politics. The lecture, delivered by the distinguished Professor Lu Ning of the Zhejiang CPC Party School, served as an intellectual deep-dive into fostering societal prosperity.
