Dr Moses Atinga unveils 3-point plan to rebuild NPP in Upper East

Dr. Moses K. Atinga, a prominent figure within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East Region, has presented a three-pronged plan to rejuvenate the party's standing and electoral success. As a candidate for the NPP Upper East Regional Chairmanship, Dr. Atinga asserts that the party's current setbacks are systemic and necessitate a concerted effort to regain trust, enhance grassroots organization, and foster unity.

Driven by extensive party involvement, his campaign strategy rests on a wealth of experience in party structures. Over the years, Dr. Atinga has held various positions including Assembly Member for Zorko-Gambrongo Electoral Area in Bongo District, Treasurer for Bongo Constituency, Secretary for Bongo Constituency, and the Regional First Vice Chairman.

These roles have equipped him with a comprehensive understanding of grassroots representation, party administration, finance, and regional organization. The core of Dr. Atinga’s campaign is the "Triad Strategy," an approach centered on three crucial areas: strengthening human resources and infrastructure, refining communication, and securing electoral victories.

To bolster party organization, Dr. Atinga advocates for intensified training and development programs for party officers at all levels, ranging from polling station executives to regional leaders. This initiative aims to cultivate a consistently active party throughout the electoral cycle rather than one that becomes fully mobilized solely during elections.

In terms of communication, Dr. Atinga advocates for a more synchronized and proactive approach, emphasizing the need for improved training and support for NPP communicators to effectively convey the party’s policies and achievements to voters. His third pillar concentrates on electoral strategy, which involves conducting constituency-by-constituency evaluations of the party's performance, alongside targeted voter engagement initiatives, strategies for mobilizing youth and women, and vigilant monitoring of polling station dynamics.

Unity is another cornerstone of Dr. Atinga’s campaign, highlighting that internal discord has contributed to the party’s waning influence in the region. He emphasizes the importance of including the supporters of rival candidates in the rebuilding process, rejecting the idea of excluding any group. Furthermore, he calls for greater participation of young individuals in party organization and leadership, proposing that experienced members mentor younger activists while drawing inspiration from their perspectives and enthusiasm.

Dr. Atinga’s supporters believe that the regional chairmanship election is fundamentally about determining the future direction of the Upper East NPP—whether it should become more united, better organized, and proactive in its communication and electoral strategy. The success of Dr. Atinga’s proposed rebuilding approach will likely influence the decisions of party delegates.
