The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has tasked its various Regional Executive Committees to begin processes for the appointment of seven other regional executives.
This follows the successful conduct of its regional annual delegates conference over the weekend.

In accordance with this provision, the party has directed that, the 10 elected regional executive officers, in the regions that have held their conferences, should take immediate steps, in consultation with the National Executive Committee, to effect these appointments.
The Regional Officers to be appointed include:
1) Regional Financial Secretary;
2) Deputy Regional Organizer;
3) Deputy Regional Youth Organizer;
4) Deputy Regional Nasara Coordinator;
5) Deputy Regional Women Organizer;
6) Regional Communications Officer; and
