NPP External Branches demand 90-day roadmap for ROPAA implementation

Among other things, the proposals seek increased representation for External Branches on the National Executive Committee and National Council, stronger Chapter participation, uniform structures for branches abroad and a constitutional basis for voting in members’ countries of residence.

The External Branches also called for reforms to the NPP’s internal electoral system, including secure electronic voting for members abroad and stronger representation for External Branches in the party’s decision-making structures.

The External Branches of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are demanding a clear, time-bound roadmap for the implementation of the Representation of the People (Amendment) Act, 2006 (Act 699), popularly known as ROPAA, ahead of the party’s National Delegates Conference in Kumasi.
