The Chairman of the Council of Elders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Hackman Owusu Agyeman, has said the party’s constitution must evolve to meet the demands of the future.
Speaking at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference on Saturday, July 19,Mr Owusu Agyeman expressed confidence that the ongoing constitutional review would lead to reforms that enhance the party’s relevance and effectiveness.
“I believe that this conference will, in the final analysis, bring out a constitution that will be good for our development as we go forward,” he told journalists at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, where the event was held.
He called on party members to support the process with an open mind, describing change as essential for any dynamic organisation.
“I do not think there should be any problem at all. We have to understand that it is a human institution, and it is dynamic. If there are changes to be made, we make the changes,” he said.
The 2025 National Delegates Conference, held under the theme “Rebuilding Together with our Values”, comes in the wake of the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections.
Delegates are expected to deliberate on dozens of proposed amendments to the party’s constitution, with the aim of strengthening internal democracy, enhancing grassroots engagement, and preparing for the 2028 elections.
