NPP extends mandate of regional executives

John Boadu[/caption] The New Patriotic Party has asked regional executives in areas affected by the recent regional reorganization to supervise the newly created ones that used to be under their jurisdiction. The directive extending the executives’ mandate is coming on the heels of a demand by some party youth in the Northern region. The youth group asked current Northern Regional Chairman of the party Baatima Samba to vacate the chairmanship position of the region after the rezoning placed him in North-East Region. By the NPP in a statement signed by the General Secretary John Boadu said, “The NPP, by this notice, extends the mandate of current regional executives of the party in the regions that have been affected by the recent regional reorganization, comprising the Northern, Brong Ahafo, Western and Volta Regions.” It further noted, “The current regional executives of these regions shall, accordingly, exercise jurisdiction in the newly created regions, consisting of North East, Savanna, Bono East, Ahafo, Western North and Oti regions, as applicable.” The statement said the party will soon come out with guidelines and modalities on how substantive executives will be “selected/elected to occupy the ‘vacant’ regional executive committee positions”. It therefore called on members of the party to give the current regional executives their “maximum cooperation”. Source: 3news.com |Ghana]]>
