Dr Moses Atinga targets grassroots rebuilding in Upper East NPP chairmanship bid

Dr. Moses K. Atinga, a seasoned New Patriotic Party (NPP) member, has unveiled a three-pronged strategy aimed at revitalizing the party's presence in the Upper East Region. As a medical doctor who has held various roles within the party, Dr. Atinga emphasizes the need for stronger grassroots organization, enhanced communication, and a focused approach to electoral success.

His approach, dubbed the "Tripod Strategy," comprises three key areas: building human resources and infrastructure, effective public communication, and targeted electoral success.

With a wealth of experience in the NPP, Dr. Atinga has served as an Assembly Member, Treasurer, Secretary, and Upper East Regional First Vice Chairman. This diverse background has equipped him with insights into the party's organizational challenges at both grassroots and regional levels. Supporters of Dr. Atinga argue that his extensive experience in various capacities within the party provides a solid foundation for understanding the issues plaguing the NPP in the Upper East Region.

Central to Dr. Atinga's campaign is the "Tripod Strategy," which centers on bolstering party officers' capacity across all levels of the organization. The first pillar of this strategy involves investing in the training and development of party officers, aiming to maintain an active party throughout the electoral cycle instead of solely mobilizing during election periods.

The second pillar focuses on improving communication within the party, with a goal of training and supporting NPP communicators to better articulate the party's policies, achievements, and positions. The third pillar emphasizes electoral success, proposing a constituency-by-constituency analysis of the NPP's recent performance. This approach would involve targeted voter engagement, increased mobilization of young people and women, and improved monitoring of electoral trends at the polling station level.

Party unity is another crucial aspect of Dr. Atinga's campaign. He believes that internal divisions have contributed to the NPP's struggles in the Upper East Region. Dr. Atinga advocates for the inclusion of supporters of rival candidates and factions, even after internal contests are resolved. He also promotes greater involvement of younger members in party organization and leadership, with experienced party members mentoring younger activists and providing them with opportunities to contribute their ideas and skills to the organization.

Dr. Atinga frames the upcoming regional chairmanship contest as a chance for delegates to decide the NPP's future direction as it strives to enhance its electoral performance in the Upper East Region.
