Members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East Region have expressed disbelief and disappointment after not a single member from their region was included in Dr. Bawumia’s main list of campaign team and manifesto committee. Apexnewsgh report
This exclusion has left party members questioning the reasons behind such omission.
The committee, chaired by Hon Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, includes three manifesto committee coordinators and 19 chairpersons of sub-committees. The primary objective of the committee is to review the party’s 2016 and 2020 manifestos and engage stakeholders to develop a pragmatic 2024 manifesto. Sector Ministers will serve as advisors to the committee.
The absence of Upper East representatives in the campaign team and manifesto committee is particularly concerning given the region’s struggle with only one Member of Parliament out of 15 constituencies. In contrast, other regions such as North East, Northern Region, and Upper West were all adequately represented.
This exclusion has prompted party members in the Upper East Region to question why their region was sidelined in such a crucial decision-making process. Additionally, ongoing research conducted by Apexnewsgh is indicating negative sentiments towards the governing party ahead of the 2024 election in the region.
Meanwhile, the exclusion of Upper East representatives from Dr. Bawumia’s campaign team of 40 and manifesto committee of 25 has raised eyebrows and led to concerns among party members in the region.
