The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has launched an amended constitution aimed at strengthening its internal structure ahead of the 2028 general election. The reforms are designed to deepen internal democracy, improve communication, and promote unity within the party.
Key Highlights of the Amended Constitution:
– Expanded Electoral College: Voting rights have been extended to former executives, including MPs, MMDCEs, and regional and constituency executives.
– Improved Communication: Measures have been introduced to strengthen communication at all levels, addressing criticisms of poor coordination and messaging.
– Patriotic Institute: A new institute has been established to safeguard the party’s tradition, ideology, and historical legacy.
– Security and Intelligence: The party has vowed to take internal security seriously, with lessons learned from past lapses.
– Decentralization of Power: The amendments aim to decentralize power, giving more members at the grassroots a direct voice in major decisions.
The amendments were adopted at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference in July 2025, following extensive consultations with party members across the country. The changes are expected to strengthen the party’s internal democracy and position it for a stronger performance in the 2028 elections.
