NDP postpones its National Executive Committee meeting

The National Democratic Party (NDP) has postponed its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting to Thursday, August 20.

The meeting, initially scheduled for August 18 at its head office in Accra was to confirm a date for the party's national conference.

The meeting was also to select a flagbearer for the party ahead of the Presidential Elections in December.

However, the General Secretary of the NDP, Alhaji Mohammed Frimpong, told GraphicOnline that the meeting was rescheduled because about half of the 12-member NEC were engaged in some urgent assignments elsewhere.

"The meeting has been postponed to Thursday, it will still be held at the head office in Accra. The issue is that the same people who were to be involved in the meeting are performing some key duties for the party at other locations so they could not be involved," Mr Frimpong said.
