NPP Delegates Conference: Party postpones constitutional amendments to next conference

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) delegation has departed the National Delegates Conference of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) due to what they perceived as disorganisation and excessive delays in the program's commencement. The delegation, headed by Deputy National Women Organiser Ms Dzifa Tsegah, had arrived at the conference site at 9:30 a.m., anticipating a start time of 9:00 a.m. As of 2:00 p.m., the event remained unfinished, despite Ms Tsegah's earlier assurance that between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., proceedings would have commenced.

Tsegah expressed her displeasure over the lack of communication and coordination from the organizers, stating that they were at the venue by 9:30 a.m., expecting the conference to begin by 9:00 a.m., but it was nearly 2 p.m. and the event was still not underway.

According to Tsegah, the conference flyer indicated that voting should have concluded by 1:00 p.m., yet, hours later, it hadn't even begun. She lamented that delegates from various regions had been stranded at the venue, unable to return home. Tsegah, representing the NDC, lamented the confusion and lack of central communication, stating that nobody seemed to know what was happening. She emphasized that the situation was unfair and that the disorganisation revealed deeper issues within the NPP.

Ms Tsegah asserted that the NPP's disorganised conference organisation signified the need for the party to address its internal challenges. She also stressed that Ghana required a robust opposition to ensure democracy remained strong and the government accountable. While the NDC delegation had to leave due to other commitments, they hoped their solidarity message would reach the NPP through the media.
