More than 5,500 delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have converged in Accra today, July 19, 2025, for the party’s National Annual Delegates Conference, with a slate of critical constitutional reforms on the agenda, aimed at reshaping its internal structures and future electoral strategy.
At the heart of the day’s deliberations is a proposed amendment to expand the base of delegates who elect the party’s presidential candidate, a move party stalwarts argue will promote inclusivity and reduce elite dominance.
The amendment, jointly proposed by Peter Mac Manu and Evans Nimako, seeks to abolish Article 13(1)(9) of the NPP constitution which established the Special Electoral College.
