NPP needs ‘war-like’ leaders to take fight to government – Annoh-Dompreh

Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip, has called for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to seek out leaders with a "war-like mindset" to complement the party's parliamentary caucus and challenge the government. At the NPP's National Delegates Conference in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, Annoh-Dompreh emphasized the need for the incoming national executives to work closely with the parliamentary caucus and the party's flagbearer to effectively address national issues and hold the government accountable.

He stressed that the parliamentary caucus alone could not fulfill its responsibilities, and the national leadership must provide the necessary support to combine parliamentary efforts with those of the flagbearer. Annoh-Dompreh clarified that his reference to a "war-like" mindset was not a call for violence, but rather a call for political and parliamentary action, including robust oversight of government.

He expressed confidence that the NPP's national elections would proceed smoothly, with over 7,000 delegates attending the conference at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
