The party’s audited accounts report also revealed the uncertainty regarding SODELPA’s ability to generate adequate cash flows.
The report also highlights that the total liabilities of the party exceed its total assets, resulting in a net deficiency in assets of $255,685.
Takayawa, in response, assures their supporters that they take these financial challenges seriously and have been actively working to address them.
He says SODELPA has taken decisive steps to streamline its operations and reduce expenses, saying one of the significant areas where they have implemented substantial cost-saving measures is in their office management.

He claims the party has successfully reduced its electricity bill from an average of $800 per month to just below $90 for the past two months.
Takayawa says that moving forward, SODELPA will remain dedicated to enhancing its financial stability through sound financial planning, efficient resource allocation, and continued engagement with supporters through fundraising.
