The national executives of the incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) are visiting all the 275 constituencies of the 16 regions of the country to “touch base with party grassroots as part of efforts towards re-energizing, restructuring and repositioning the party for the task ahead” in 2024.
The tour which started on Friday, March 19, is led by Freddy Blay, the National Chairman; and John Boadu, General Secretary.
Others include National 1st Vice-Chair, Rita Asobayire; National 3rd Vice-Chair, Omari Wadie; National Treasurer, Amankwa Yeboah; National Organizer, Sammi Awuku; National Youth Organizer, Nana Boakye; National Nasara Coordinator, Abdul Aziz Futah; and the National Women’s Organizer, Kate Gyamfua.
The party explained in a statement copied to GhanaWeb that, “the nationwide working tour is also to afford the national [executive] an opportunity to listen and address the concerns of party grassroots, and also engage the structures of the party on ways...to enhance the party’s chances of breaking the 8-year-governance cycle”.
