Two important meetings of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are planned for today at the Alisa Hotel in Accra to discuss the party’s future.
Information received indicates that the National Executive Committee (NEC) will hold the first meeting, while the National Council (NC), the main opposition party’s second-highest decision-making body, will hold the second.
The NPP General Secretary, Mr. Justin Kodua Frimpong, issued the members of the two organizations with notice of the meetings a week ago.
The presentation of the 2024 Election Review Committee report, the National Annual Delegates Conference, the party’s constitutional amendment, constituency, regional and national executive elections, and programs for 2026 and beyond are among the topics to be discussed, according to the article.
During the lengthy meetings, the party may be presented with the report of the Prof. Mike Oquaye Committee.
The behavior of NPP supporters toward the party’s presidential primary next year for the general election in 2028 will be another topic of discussion.
Following a troubling pattern of public endorsements and mudslinging for and against prospective candidates prior to the primaries, which political observers feel bodes ill for the party’s unity, this has become required.
An 11-member committee led by former Speaker of Parliament Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye was established by the NPP in January of this year to look into the party’s loss in the general election of 2024.
The committee’s task was to evaluate the elements that led to the NPP’s defeat and offer plans for party reconstruction and election preparation.
To guarantee a comprehensive evaluation, it has been involving stakeholders for the last three months, including media, party members, grassroots supporters, and political analysts.
To guarantee a thorough and significant investigation, party members and supporters were urged to participate in and support the fact-finding process.
It is anticipated that the committee’s conclusions will be crucial in determining NPP’s future course of action.
