The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that more than 4,000 delegates are expected to attend its upcoming National Delegates Conference. During this conference, key amendments to the party’s constitution will be discussed. The party has revealed that over 50 provisions within the constitution are being considered for amendment as part of its efforts to strengthen internal structures and improve operational efficiency.
Joseph Osei-Owusu, commonly known as Joe Wise, who is the Chairman of the Planning Committee, stated that the proposed amendments have already been distributed to all delegates in advance of the conference. “The main agenda of this conference is to review the proposed amendments to our constitution,” he said.
He further explained, “The document, which has been shared by our General Secretary with the regions and is intended for the constituencies, also includes a summary report that spans about 64 pages. However, all of this information will be condensed into motions. These are the motions that the delegates will be asked to vote on.”
The conference is expected to serve as a major moment of introspection and reform for the NPP, especially as it prepares for the 2028 general elections following its loss in 2024. Party officials say the proposed changes reflect feedback gathered from across its structures and are designed to make the party more responsive, transparent, and democratic.
