The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) will today hold its extraordinary national delegates conference to consider various proposed amendments to the party’s Constitution.
The extraordinary conference has been made possible to grant the party the opportunity to review its constitution after several proposals were made during the Annual National Delegates Conference at Cape Coast in August this year.
Over five thousand delegates including founding fathers, Members of Parliament on the party’s ticket, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives, and national officers of the party, are expected at the conference to be held at the Baba Yara Sports stadium.
some members of the party have called for a review of the party’s electoral college system to ensure that the same number of delegates who vote for the party’s national executives, also vote for the selection of their presidential candidate.
Reports indicate that some NPP members have also reportedly called for a review of requirements for qualification to the constituency and regional executive position.
They want only persons who have gone through the ranks of the party at the local level, to be given the chance to vie for such positions.
