The New Patriotic Party (NPP) held its National Delegates Conference at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on October 3, approving 14 constitutional amendments. Among these changes, delegates decided that the party's flagbearer would be its leader, reversing a prior provision that designated the National Chairman as the leader.
This amendment comes as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is set to lead the party in the 2028 general election. Additionally, the NPP modified the election process for Vice Chairpersons, allowing candidates to contest specific positions rather than being determined by vote order. The party also created three new Vice Chairpersons who would not be elected.
Other amendments include the creation of Deputy Communications Officer positions and elevating the IT Officer to an executive role. NPP Constitution Amendment Committee Chairman Frank Davies explained that these changes were made to address gaps in the party's organizational structure ahead of the 2028 election, emphasizing the importance of these amendments for the party's future direction.
