Elected party officers will answer through committees - Nana Akomea explains NPP's new power structure
Nana Akomea explained on Tuesday on PM Express that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has created a new internal structure. This structure will place elected party officers under powerful committees reporting directly to the National Council. According to Akomea, the move forms part of a broader strategy to prepare early for the 2028 elections, following the party's decision to elect its flagbearer three years before the polls.
Akomea acknowledged concerns within the party that the committees may have been introduced too soon. He said similar criticism followed the decision to hold early flagbearer elections, noting, "The same sentiments came up. It's too early. Let's wait a while." Akomea revealed that two categories of committees have now been formed. The first group comprises standing committees that will advise the party's National Council and oversee the work of elected officers. He said that although the party will later elect officers such as a Communications Director, National Organiser, Women's Organiser and Youth Organiser, those officials will still operate under committee supervision.
Akomea stated that the committees are ultimately structures of the National Council and will serve as the main channel of authority within the party. He said, "So the National Council, for example, will not call the communications director directly. They will call the chairman of the communications committee."
