The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) will host an emergency National Council meeting today, Friday, February 23, 2024, at the Alisa Hotel, to discuss parliamentary leadership changes.
The party declared this in a statement signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong.
“I convey heartfelt wishes from the Party’s National Secretariat. Mr. Stephen Ayesu Ntim, the National Chairman, has directed that an emergency National Council meeting be held on Friday, February 23, 2024.
Please locate the following information for your consideration: The National Council’s (NC) meeting is planned as follows: Date is Friday, February 23, 2024.”
Meanwhile, the meeting, as expected, will focus on the recent reshuffle in the party’s leadership in Parliament and the recent unveiling of the 2024 Bawumia Campaign Team.
It is also expected to centre around the emergency meeting between majority caucus members and President Nana Akufo-Addo, where the Majority Leader Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu stepped down on Wednesday, February 21. His Deputy, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, is set to succeed him.
However, many key players have described the decision as unprecedented, while rumours suggest he was forced to step down.
