The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has inaugurated its National Elections Committee to oversee preparations and processes leading to the party’s National Conference for the election of national officers.
The committee was inaugurated by Acting National Chairman Smith Dankwa Butey, who charged members to carry out their duties with integrity, impartiality and professionalism in line with the party’s constitution and electoral regulations.
The committee is chaired by former Suhum MP Frederick Opare-Ansah, with Atiwa East MP Abena Osei Asare serving as Vice Chairperson and Evans Nimako as Secretary.
Other members include Oboshie Sai Cofie, Anthony Abayifa Karbo, Salam Ama Appianin Damata, Eric Ntori, the Ashanti Regional Chairman-elect after the regional elections, and Frank Davies, Esq.
The committee’s mandate includes planning, organising and supervising all activities leading to the National Conference, as well as conducting the elections in accordance with the NPP’s rules.
Speaking on behalf of the committee, Mr Opare-Ansah thanked the party leadership for the confidence placed in them and pledged to ensure a credible and transparent electoral process.
“We recognise the enormous responsibility entrusted to us. We are determined to ensure that every stage of the process is conducted with fairness, transparency, integrity and strict adherence to the Constitution and the rules governing the elections,” he said.
He urged aspirants, party officials and members to respect the established procedures, stressing that the elections should strengthen rather than divide the party.
“Our objective is not merely to conduct successful elections but to leave the Party stronger, more united and better positioned for the important national task ahead. Every contestant and every delegate must have confidence that the process will be impartial and that every vote will count,” he added.
The committee assured members that it would operate independently and professionally while ensuring fairness to all contestants.
