The president-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will today, hold a crunch meeting with members of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) National Executive Committee (NEC) to discuss the way forward after winning the general elections.
It would be the first time that the President-Elect would officially meet with his party's NEC.
Sources close to the party's headquarters told the Ghanaian Times that top on the agenda is the scrutiny of his list of nominees for ministerial appointments.
It said Ken Ofori-Atta, formerly of Data Bank, is slated for the Ministry of Finance, Nana Akomea for Communications, Dan Botwe for Local Government, Ambrose Dery for the interior, and Dominic Nitiwul for Defence.
The source added that either Frema Osei Opare or Sherry Ayorkor Botchwey has been penciled for the Foreign Affairs Ministry and Philip Addison or Ayikoi Otoo for Attorney General and Ministry of Justice.
Another proposal to be tabled at today's meeting , our sources said, would be the President-elect's decision to reduce the number of ministries and re-alien others.
The number of ministries, which currently stands at 24, may be pruned down to 19.
It said the Ministries of youth and Sports, Power, Chieftaincy and Traditional Affairs, Fisheries and Roads and Highways could be scrapped.
The Ministries of Fisheries, power, Roads and Highways would be integrated into Ministries of Food and Agriculture, Energy and Transport.
"That of youth and Sports would be split among three ministries, and Chieftaincy and Traditional Affairs brought under Local Government and Rural Development," the sources added.
Most of the ministries may also be reconstituted and renamed in line with the President-elects vision to achieve accelerated development.
The 29-member NEC comprises party officials such as the National Chairman, past presidents, past vice presidents, sitting president, sitting vice president, general secretaries (present and past), among others.

God bless the President elect and give him wisdom to govern the nation.
Why should i pray for the NPP to move the nation forward.These nation wreckers who went all out to sabotage Mahama's government,even lobbying foreign governments and institutions not to help the government financially to develop the nation.I will pray for Mahama to come back.
i think you have forgotten about Nyaho Tamakloe - one of the founding fathers of NPP. I think Nyaho should be appointed Chief of Staff at the Presidency or Cabinet Secretary. He will be a fantastic addition to Nana Addo's government. I don't think he will leak all information to John Mahama, lol.
Why you want to publish pictures? I am not Atoa Niama president okay.
I LIKE THE IDEA TO REDUCE THE MINISTRIES. I PRAY THAT GOD GUIDE YOU THROUGH YOUR DECISION MAKING. I AND MY CHURCH PRAY FOR YOU TO MOVE OUR DEAR NATION HIGH. GOD BLESS YOU NANA ADDO.
I have three (3) advise for NPP. (1) NPP should halt spporters on over jubilation. (2) NPP think about succession plan.Form a planing team now to make such arrangements (3) Make all Ghanaian your faithfuls, do not discriminate, since you have been accused of such already.These and others will help you to maintain power. NPP did not win votes but won hopes from Ghanaian. Long live Ghana, long live NPP,thank you. thank you.
i know you very very well,i can even poblish you picture. i am still waiting for your comments thanks
you are very pathetic you need to visit the psychiatry, it seems your ndc deeds are looming in your mind, thank GOD you have exposed yourself....nitwit
AKKUFO ADDO IS POISED TO BECOME THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER. HE IS DETERMINED TO GIVE GHANAIANS AN EXCELLENT GOVERNMENT. I BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT HE WILL EXECUTE THE ELECTIONS OF ALL IN THE DISTRICT ASSEMBLIES AND THE DCEMS AS HE PROMISED DURING THE CAMPAIGN. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY HE CAN FULFILL AND SUSTAIN ONE DISTRICT ONE INDUSTRY PROJECT. THE MINISTRIES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND THAT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY COULD THEREFORE COORDINATE ONE DISTRICT ONE INDUSTRY PROJECT. LONG LIVE NANA, LONG LIVE MOTHER GHANA.
you hyprocate people, God will judge you one by one.
