The Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi Bosiako says they are more than prepared to host the Extra-ordinary National Delegates conference.

He said without the Ashanti Region, the NPP can never win elections, saying that settling on Kumasi for the conference is in the right direction.

The NPP could not take decisions on amendments to its constitution made by members across the country during its recent annual conference at Cape Coast in the Central Region.

The party ordered a committee to look through the numerous proposals and submit its report two months ahead of the extraordinary conference.

Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' Programme, he explained that they have put in adequate measures to ensure a successful conference.

"The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah who is the Chairman for REGSEC has been tasked with security and safety of delegates whilst other committee members have been tasked with other responsibilities," he added.

We are also looking at accommodating over 7,500 delegates for the one day conference.

Expressing worry about how they were disturbed by bed bugs at their national conference in Cape Coast, he noted that they will ensure same is not repeated in the Ashanti region.

According to him they are putting everything in place to ensure a successful conference this weekend. 

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will hold its extraordinary delegates’ conference on Sunday, December 17, 2017 in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional Capital.

The conference is in pursuance to Article 9(A)(5) of the NPP constitution.

In a statement signed by the Acting General Secretary of the party John Boadu, it explained, "The agenda for the conference is to deliberate, consider and adopt a draft constitutional amendment for the party."
