The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has scheduled May 4, 2019, to elect executives for the newly created regions in the country.
“The NPP shall, pursuant to Article 18 of the Party’s Constitution and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, hold an Extraordinary Regional Annual Delegates Conference on May 4, 2019, to elect officers to occupy vacant regional executive positions, occasioned by the recent regional reorganization,” a statement signed by the party’s General Secretary, John Boadu noted.
John Boadu in the statement said this was decided on during the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Tuesday, March 12, 2019, at their headquarters.
He said the decision was also endorsed by the party’s National Council on Tuesday.
“The meeting had in attendance, H.E. President Akufo-Addo, H.E. Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, the Chief of Staff, the party’s National Chairman and other NEC members,” the statement added.
The NPP earlier directed its current regional executives to oversee the six newly created regions until substantive executives are elected to fill such positions.
Six new regions have been created. They include North East, Ahafo, Bono East, Western North, Oti and Savannah.
