New Patriotic Party prepares for structural reforms and internal elections
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is undergoing significant internal restructuring and preparation for its upcoming National Delegates Conference. The party is considering constitutional amendments to expand its national leadership, including potentially doubling the number of National Vice-Chairpersons to improve regional coordination and ensure demographic balance. These changes follow a Supreme Court directive to grant voting rights to all party members in good standing during primaries.
Internal elections for national officer positions are underway, with vetting processes currently active. Aspirants such as Paul Afoko, Boakye Agyarko, and Justin Kodua Frimpong are campaigning for key roles. Frimpong, the incumbent General Secretary, reportedly holds a strong lead in recent polling. Meanwhile, Agyarko has cited the influence of former President Kufuor in his bid for National Chairman, while Afoko described his recent vetting as a rigorous and productive exchange.
In separate activities, NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia donated GH¢50,000 to St. Jude Catholic Church in Weija and visited a local leprosarium. Additionally, the Ashanti Regional Youth Wing honored MP Dr. Nana Ayew Afriye as their Patron, following his financial support for youth welfare initiatives.
