NPP urged to prioritise regional balance in national appointments

Members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana's Western Region have called on the party's leadership to prioritize fairness, regional balance and experience when selecting and appointing national executives. They argue that such considerations will strengthen the party's organizational structures and aid in garnering support leading up to the 2028 general election.

In a statement to the Ghana News Agency, party loyalists from the Western region highlighted the availability of experienced and capable members who can contribute significantly to the party's goal of regaining political power. They specifically mentioned Okatakyie Amankwaa Afrifa, known as OKT, for a potential national role. OKT's extensive service and experience in various aspects of party administration make him a prime candidate, according to the proponents.

The call for consideration is rooted in the principles of fairness, regional representation, and acknowledgment of service. The Western region currently lacks representation in the national executive, prompting the appeal for the party leadership to include the region in upcoming appointments.
