The New Patriotic Party (NPP) took a significant step toward revitalising its internal structures and energising its base as the 2025 Conference of the NPP Constituency Chairmen Caucus of Ghana commenced at the Longford Royal Centre in Kumasi, running from June 20 to 22.

Themed “Building Momentum: The Role of NPP Constituency Chairmen in Uplifting the Party Towards 2028 and Beyond,” the conference gathered over 275 constituency chairmen, party executives, and dignitaries to discuss strategy, internal cohesion, and preparations for the 2028 general elections.

Delivering the keynote address, Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah (COKA) inspired the crowd with a message of unity, discipline, and renewal. His speech was a passionate call to action that resonated deeply with party members grappling with internal challenges and public perception issues following the 2024 elections.

COKA emphasised the dangers of internal division and personal agendas, urging leaders to set aside religious, tribal, and economic differences in favour of collective strength.

Quoting Psalm 133:1, COKA declared: “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!” He reminded the audience that the path to victory in 2028 requires forgiveness, teamwork, and a strategic commitment to ethical governance.

The speech also included a proposal to revise internal qualification structures, suggesting that only those who have served at polling station or constituency levels should be eligible to contest for higher office, including regional and national executive positions.

Throughout the address, Chairman COKA invoked powerful references from Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., and African proverbs to emphasise unity, collaboration, and responsibility.

COKA also urged party executives to actively participate in decision-making, foster transparency, and embrace dissenting views within the boundaries of respectful democratic discourse.

The conference serves as a major turning point in the NPP’s organisational calendar, coming at a time when party members across the country are calling for reform, renewal, and stronger leadership structures.

As the three-day event continues, delegates are expected to break into working sessions focused on campaign strategy, grassroots mobilisation, and policy communication, all aimed at laying a solid foundation for the 2028 elections.

With Chairman COKA’s rallying message still fresh in delegates’ minds, the NPP appears poised to take the first serious step toward internal healing and political resurgence.
