The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that it will convene an emergency National Council meeting today, Friday, February 23, 2024, at the Alisa Hotel.
The party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong (JFK), signed the statement announcing this.
“I extend to you warm greetings from the National Secretariat of the Party. By the order of the National Chairman, Mr. Stephen Ayesu Ntim, you are hereby notified that there will be an emergency National Council meeting on Friday, February 23, 2024.”
“Kindly find below the following information for your consideration: The National Council (NC) meeting is scheduled as follows: Date: Friday, February 23, 2024.”
The meeting will primarily address the recent reshuffle in the party’s parliamentary leadership, the unveiling of the 2024 Bawumia Campaign Team, and the emergency meeting between majority caucus members and President Akufo-Addo.
During the meeting, Majority Leader Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu stepped down on Wednesday, February 21, with his Deputy, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, poised to succeed him.
However, this decision has been described by many key players as unprecedented, and rumors suggest that he was forced to step down.
