The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has implemented a substantial reform to its internal electoral framework, considerably enlarging the Electoral College to include marginalized groups within the party enabling their participation in internal elections for the selection of the 2028 flagbearer.
The amendment of the Electoral College was announced during the party’s Annual Delegates Conference held today July 19.
The newly introduced reform by the party’s Constitution Amendment Committee forms part of ongoing efforts to eliminate elitists’ supremacy and promote broader involvement in the party’s internal elections.
The proposed amendment was enacted, progressively expanding the number of eligible voters in the party’s presidential primary, according to Frank Davies, Chairman of the Constitution Amendment Committee.
“The National Annual Delegates Conference has adopted an amendment to expand the Electoral College for this purpose”, Frank Davies said.
The revised Electoral College will include:
* All former Members of Parliament (MPs)
* All former parliamentary candidates
* All former Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs)
* All card-bearing former ministers and deputy ministers
* All former regional, constituency, and branch executives
* All members of the National Council of Elders and National Council of Patrons
* Regional and constituency patrons and elders
* All TESCON coordinators
