The res­ur­rec­tion of the UNC in last week’s Gen­er­al Elec­tion is a tes­ta­ment to the suc­cess­ful en­gage­ment of the ground base by the par­ty through its NA­TEX elec­tions last June. This move not on­ly rein­vig­o­rat­ed the par­ty’s base but al­so helped over­come an in­sur­gency in­side the par­ty de­signed to top­ple the lead­er­ship.
