Frustrated delegates and Electoral Area Coordinators of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Atwima Mponua Constituency have given the party’s National leadership a 2-day ultimatum to conduct the delayed Constituency Executive Elections or risk losing the seat to the NDC. The warning was issued during a press conference at the NPP office in Nyinahin.
Addressing the media, Dickson Owusu Addo, Communication Officer for Ade3mra Electoral Area, expressed deep concern over the continued delay.
He said the postponement is unjustified because a court injunction only affected 3 out of 38 Electoral Areas on the scheduled election day.
“It is therefore difficult for us to understand why the entire Constituency Executive Elections have been suspended when the legal challenge affected only a small fraction,” he stated.
Mr. Owusu Addo added that for several weeks, party members, delegates, aspirants, and coordinators have waited for direction from the National Steering Committee but received “no explanation and no roadmap.”
He warned that the prolonged silence has “created uncertainty, weakened party structures, and undermined the confidence of members who have sacrificed for the growth of the party.”
Delegates who attended the press conference also angrily voiced their frustrations.
One delegate said: “We are tired of the delays. The grassroots are suffering. If the NPP does not take action within 2 days, the NDC are eager and ready to take this seat.”
Another added: “We did all the work on the ground. Don’t sideline us now. Act now or we will regret it in 2028.”
The delegates emphasized that the grassroots remain the foundation of the NPP and any decision that ignores them threatens the party’s unity.
The delegates also rejected reports that the current Constituency Executives may be allowed to vote in upcoming Regional Elections despite their expired tenure, calling it inconsistent with the party’s constitution.
