NPP Delegates Conference should not be a funfair for presidential hopefuls – Asamoah-Boateng [Video]

New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart and former Chieftaincy Minister, Stephen Asamoah Boateng, has called for a serious and disciplined approach to the upcoming NPP National Delegates Conference.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, he said, “The annual delegates conference should not be a funfair for presidential hopefuls. All presidential hopefuls must be banned from erecting banners or campaigning at the venue.”

He said there is a need for sober minds and focused discussions at the conference, adding, “We need quietness and a real commitment to administering constitutional changes. The party should issue a strong warning to anyone planning to use the conference as a platform for campaigning.”

Regarding the scheduled date of July 19, 2025, at the Legon Sports Stadium, Mr. Boateng suggested the party should consider postponing it because of the ongoing Ablekuma North election rerun.

He stressed that “One member, one vote is the way forward to help the party move ahead,” and added, “There must be discipline and members must be in good standing.”

Mr. Boateng also encouraged inclusivity, saying, “It would be odd to rush this process. This will enable members to vote for the flagbearer with an open mind.”

The NPP recently announced a nine-member committee to oversee preparations for the National Delegates Conference, as confirmed by NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua after the NEC meeting on June 17.

The conference aims to bring delegates from across the country together to discuss key party issues and decide the party’s future direction.
