The call formed part of the nine-point communique issued at the end of the two-day summit held at the Gregory University, Uturu (GUU) in Isuikwuato Local Government Area of Abia.
The summit urged the National Assembly members from the southeast to lobby their colleagues from other zones for the amendment, which would compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to make such a clause a condition for the registration of parties.
