Former First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei-Owusu, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) committee reviewing the party’s constitution to prioritise discussions on the leadership selection process.
He emphasised the importance of reaching a consensus on this critical issue to strengthen the party’s unity and future direction.
Speaking on the Channel One Newsroom on Thursday April 17, Osei-Owusu intimated that the leadership selection process has emerged as a key topic during the committee’s deliberations.
“For me, the most critical thing now is that, in the end, we should have some consensus on the way forward. The critical issue if ask me is our processes of selecting leaders,” he stated.
He stressed that achieving agreement on this issue would provide a solid foundation for the party to build upon and move forward.
Osei-Owusu further noted that the method of reaching this consensus is less important than the outcome itself. “It doesn’t matter how we get to that. Once we get to a consensus, we will use it to build our party and move forward with it,” he added.
The NPP on Wednesday, April 16, formed a nine-member committee to review its constitution, following the presentation of a post election report by the Oquaye Committee on the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections.
The decision was taken during an emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
