Africa-Press – Ghana. Nana Obiri Boahen, a Former Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has lauded certain changes in the party’s constitution, describing the just ended delegates conference of the party as exceptional in the political history of the NPP.
The NPP delegates at the party’s highest decision-making conference in Accra voted to expand the electoral college by 40 per cent.
With that decision, the party has accordingly added more than 60,000 polling station executives to the existing 220,000, widening the size of the electoral college to over 280,000 voters.
That means all the former Members of Parliament (MPs), Parliamentary Candidates, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), card-holding ministers and deputy ministers and regional, constituency and branch executives will participate in the election of the flagbearer in January 2026.
Commenting on the outcome of the party’s delegates conference in an interview in Sunyani, Nana Boahen said: “The expansion of the NPP’s electoral college is the best way to go for now.
We anticipate that as our great party progresses, every card-bearing member will be given equal opportunity in the highest decision-making process of the party”, he stated.
Nana Boahen said: “I have been a delegate since 1992 and attended the NPP’s highest decision-making conference, however certain decisions taking and amendments made at the just ended 2025 conference is the best so far”.
He explained that expanding the party’s electoral college for all card-bearing members to participate in the decision making of the party would instill a collective sense of ownership and thereby inspired the party people to remain loyal to the “elephant family”.
Nana Boahen said: “With that sense of belongingness and loyalty all the party people will contribute their quota selflessly to the growth and development of the NPP and thereby enhance our political fortunes in election years”.
