The National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is set to meet on January 2, 2025, at the party’s headquarters in Accra to discuss pressing issues following their loss in the December 7 general elections.
This will be the party’s first NEC meeting since transitioning to its new status as the minority in the 9th parliament.
High on the agenda is the leadership structure for the minority front in the 9th Parliament.
Discussions have already sparked debate within the party, with key voices like Joseph Osei Owusu, MP for Bekwai and First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, advocating for Alexander Afenyo-Markin to retain a leadership role.
Afenyo-Markin, known for his political acumen and unifying approach, is seen by many as the ideal candidate for Minority Leader. “His experience and ability to foster unity will be critical in navigating our new role in Parliament,” Osei Owusu remarked.
Beyond parliamentary leadership, the NEC will delve into other pressing concerns, including the reasons behind the party’s electoral defeat, strategies for reorganizing party structures, and reconnecting with grassroots supporters.
