COKA appeals to NPP Constituency Chairmen to uphold party's constitution

Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, also known as COKA, has urged constituency executives across the region to strictly follow the party's constitution in their duties. Speaking at a strategic meeting in Kumasi on August 18, 2026, COKA highlighted the importance of adhering to the NPP constitution for promoting discipline, avoiding internal conflicts, and strengthening the party's structures before future elections.

He stressed that the constitution should serve as the primary guide for all constituency executives in their administrative and political activities. COKA cautioned against centralizing power and interfering with the responsibilities of other elected executives, emphasizing the need to respect the division of roles as outlined in the constitution.

He called on constituency chairmen to support the elected officers and allow them to perform their duties without intimidation or unwarranted interference. This appeal comes at a crucial time for the NPP in the Ashanti Region, a historically strong base for the party. Following the recent constituency and regional executive elections, the party's leadership in the region has prioritized grassroots reconciliation, organizational discipline, and the strengthening of party structures.

According to COKA, strict adherence to the constitution would help prevent administrative errors, internal disputes, and issues that could tarnish the party's reputation. The Manhyia North Constituency Chairman, Kwaku Oppong, on behalf of the constituency chairmen, thanked COKA for organizing the meeting and pledged the commitment of constituency executives to follow the Regional Chairman's vision and enhance the party's grassroots structures.

Oppong expressed appreciation for the opportunity to meet with the newly elected Regional Chairman and emphasized the importance of working together to strengthen the party's foundation at the grassroots level. He assured COKA that this commitment to constitutional governance would be upheld by all constituencies as the NPP strives to build a more cohesive and disciplined organization.
