Top British Official Questions NPP's Extravagance At Delegates Conference

A representative of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom, John Hayward, has questioned the rationale behind the extravagance exhibited in the organization of the New Patriotic Party’s National Delegates Conference.

Delivering his solidarity message at the conference in Koforidua, John Hayward said he was shocked at the many posters that had flooded the congress grounds.

"I have walked through and I can see the many posters that have flooded the grounds," he said.

Is it a prudent use of resources, emphasizing that per his experience, voters prefer political parties which focus on the needs and development of the people.

"Voters are less keen on parties but focus more on the internal issues of the parties. We hope that the NPP can reach out more to the people," he noted.

He said the NPP is treading on slippery grounds with respect to the use of resources and advised that it rather invests in the lives of the many poverty stricken Ghanaians.

About 6,000 members of the governing New Patriotic Party have converged on the campus of the Koforidua Technical University in the Eastern Region to elect their national executives as the party hosts its National Delegates Conference.

Over 40 members of the party are seeking to occupy various executive positions in the party to lead the party for the next four years.

Positions to be contested are National Chairperson,First, Second and Third, General Secretary, National Treasurer and National Organiser.

Others include, National Women Organiser, National Youth Organiser and National Nasara Coordinator.
