The National Executive Committee (NEC) is the party’s day-to-day governing body between conventions. It interprets the manifesto, directs provincial structures, and supervises elections of party officers.

Typical NEC portfolios (classic structure):

• National Chairperson / Party President
• Secretary General — administration and correspondence
• National Treasurer — membership dues and campaigns
• Publicity Secretary — press and messaging
• Organising Secretary — mobilisation and elections
• Women’s League & Youth League representatives
• Provincial representatives from Lusaka, Copperbelt, and other provinces

NEC meetings review constituency reports, candidate selection guidelines, and priority sector policies (agriculture, mines, education, health).
