Dr Moses K. Atinga, a seasoned New Patriotic Party (NPP) organiser, has unveiled a three-point strategy aimed at rebuilding the party and restoring its electoral fortunes in the Upper East Region.
Dr Atinga, who is contesting the NPP Upper East Regional Chairmanship, says the party’s challenges are structural and require a deliberate effort to rebuild trust, strengthen grassroots organisation and restore unity.
A wealth of party experience
Dr Atinga’s campaign is anchored on decades of experience within the party’s structures.
He has served two terms as Assembly Member for the Zorko-Gambrongo Electoral Area in the Bongo District, one term as Bongo Constituency Treasurer, two terms as Bongo Constituency Secretary and as Regional First Vice Chairman.
His supporters say the experience has given him a broad understanding of grassroots representation, party administration, finance and regional organisation.
The Tripod Strategy
At the centre of his campaign is the Tripod Strategy, which focuses on three key areas: human resource and infrastructure development, effective communication, and electoral victory.
On party organisation, Dr Atinga is proposing increased training and development for party officers at all levels, from polling station executives to electoral area coordinators, constituency officers and regional leaders.
He believes this will help create a party that remains active throughout the electoral cycle rather than becoming fully mobilised only during elections.
On communication, he is calling for a more coordinated and proactive approach, with improved training and support for NPP communicators to effectively explain the party’s policies and record to voters.
His third pillar focuses on elections. He proposes constituency-by-constituency assessments of the party’s recent performance, alongside targeted strategies for voter engagement, youth and women’s mobilisation, and closer monitoring of polling station trends.
Push for unity
Dr Atinga has also made unity a major theme of his campaign, arguing that internal divisions have contributed to the party’s declining fortunes in the region.
He says supporters of rival candidates in previous contests must remain part of the party’s rebuilding process, insisting that no group should be excluded.
He has also called for greater involvement of young people in party organisation and leadership, with experienced members mentoring younger activists while benefiting from their ideas and energy.
Dr Atinga’s supporters say the regional chairmanship contest is ultimately about deciding the direction of the Upper East NPP — whether it becomes more united, better organised and proactive in its communication and electoral strategy.
The outcome of the contest will determine whether delegates embrace his proposed approach to rebuilding the party in the region.
