Former Vice President, Dr. Mahanudu Bawumia has said as part of ongoing reforms in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), electoral area coordinators of the party must be allowed to vote in the party’s elections to elect regional executive members of the party.
Despite having a say in the election of the party’s presidential candidate, electoral area coordinators are ineligible to take party in elections to elect their regional officers and Dr. Bawumia believes it is an anomaly which must be addressed to expand inclusion and participation at all levels of the party’s election.
“Today, electoral area coordinators cannot vote during elections to elect regional executives and I think this should change,” Dr. Bawumia said in Sene West on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at the start of his national campaign tour for the NPP flag bearer election.
“I will push for an amendment at the next Congress to ensure that our hardworking electoral area coordinators also take part in elections to elect our regional executives.”
Bawumia’s announcement was received with loud applause by the electoral area coordinators present who believe it was time they were also considered in electing their regional executives.
