The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has formed a vetting committee for its Presidential Primary Election.
An eleven-member vetting team has been introduced at the NPP’s headquarters as the party prepares for the vetting process, which is set to begin in a week.
The squad was chosen by the National Steering Committee during a meeting on May 30.
The major task of the committee is to properly analyse and evaluate the ten party stalwarts who have submitted their forms to compete in the party’s flagbearer competition. This critical screening procedure will be vital in picking the party’s presidential nominee for the 2018 election.
“In accordance with Article 10(3)(F)(ii) of the Party’s Constitution, the National Steering Committee, acting for and on behalf of the National Council, at its emergency meeting held on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, and upon further stakeholder consultations, appointed Rt. Hon. Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye as Chairman of the Vetting Committee for the Party’s Presidential Primary Election,” the party said in a statement.
Kwasi Amoako Atta, Stephen Abankwa Sekyere, Osei Bonsu Amoah, Lord Oblitey Commey, Frank Davies, Hackman Owusu-Agyeman, and Adelaide Ahwireng are also members of the Vetting Committee.
The rest are as follows: Osei Bonsu Amoah, Member of Parliament for Akuapem North Constituency and a member of the Vetting Committee, was named Spokesperson for the Committee, and Evans Nimako, Party Director for Research and Elections, was appointed Secretary for the Committee.
