The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called an extraordinary joint session of its National Executive Committee and National Council for Tuesday, June 17, at Accra’s Alisa Hotel.
The meetings, scheduled for 10:00 am and 1:00 pm respectively, come as the party strategizes its path forward following its 2024 electoral defeat.
While the official notice from General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong did not specify agenda items, political observers anticipate discussions will focus on three critical areas: leadership reorganization following the party’s transition to opposition status, formulation of a roadmap for the 2026 general elections, and resolution of emerging internal factions. The gatherings mark the first major leadership conclave since the NPP’s eight-year governance period ended last December.
“The timing suggests more than routine party business,” noted University of Ghana political science lecturer Dr. Kojo Asante. “This could signal either a consolidation around current leadership or the beginning of succession planning ahead of the next electoral cycle.”
The NPP remains Ghana’s most organized opposition force, controlling 137 parliamentary seats compared to the ruling NDC’s 148.
Tuesday’s meetings may determine whether the party pursues immediate reorganization or maintains continuity as it rebuilds public confidence.
