A strategy to build on the party’s successes has been unveiled by New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer candidate Alan Kyeremanten.
The former trade minister’s “Transformation and Modernization of the New Patriotic Party-Agenda 2030” included, among other things, the expansion of the ruling party’s membership drive and efforts to make it more appealing to women and young people.
He intends to implement a program to reward devoted party members.
The Alan Kyeremanten 10-point agenda is listed below:
1. Aggressively expanding the membership base of the Party, focusing particularly on the Youth and Women, and introducing a Membership Reward Scheme to incentivize Party members.
2. Enhancing the financial strength of the Party by establishing commercially viable medium and large scale Party-owned business enterprises, and other investment activities.
3. Promoting the welfare of Party Executives and other officials of the Party at all levels of the Party structure, including but not limited to the payment of salaries/allowances, and the establishment of a Pension Scheme for Party officials.
4. Strengthening the management, organizational and operational efficiency of the Party’s Field Executives and Administrative staff.
5. Building the Policy research and analytical capacity of the Party.
6. Integrating more fully the Party’s External Branches into the activities of the Party, as well as identifying talents to fill executive positions in government.
7. Strengthening Government-Party relations and interactions by institutionalizing regular consultations on matters related to government and party administration.
8. Reviewing the Party’s Constitution and other legal instruments to respond to and reflect current political dynamics.
9. Establishing strategic partnerships between the Party and relevant local and international institutions and organisations, including political affiliations.
10. Modernizing Party infrastructure and other facilities of the Party across the country.
In a related news, Kennedy Osei Nyarko, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Akim Swedru in the Eastern Region, responded to those who claimed that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia must adhere to the party’s traditional succession order because he is a newcomer by comparing him to the Biblical Apostle Paul.
Even though Dr. Bawumia only formally joined the NPP in 2008, he had a significant impact, according to him. In the party, he goes by the name Paul.
He was speaking to NPP delegates in the Akim Swedru constituency on August 10, 2023, to support the Vice President on his campaign tour of the Eastern Region.
