    AAP's National Council amended tenure of National Convenor

    As the party's dated constitution, a National Convenor's tenure would be three years only, and office-bearers were restricted from serving over two consecutive terms.

    However, this January, the party's constitution was amended and the tenure of the National Convenor was increased from three years to five years.

    Further, the restriction on the number of consecutive terms served by an office-bearer was also removed.
