Chairman of the National Planning Committee for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Joseph Osei-Owusu, has affirmed that the party’s 2025 National Annual Delegates Conference will proceed as scheduled on Saturday, 19 July, at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium in Legon.

His assurance comes in response to a petition submitted by some party members, calling for the conference date to be changed.

However, the party’s leadership has resolved to move forward with existing plans.

Speaking to journalists, Mr Osei-Owusu revealed that a formal petition had been submitted to the party’s National Council, requesting a revision of the conference date.

However, after careful deliberation, the Council decided to maintain the original schedule.

“There’s a petition that the date for the conference should be changed,” Mr Osei-Owusu disclosed.

Mr Osei-Owusu stated that the party’s National Council had reviewed the petition but resolved to maintain the announced date.

“The National Council, after considering it, decided that we should continue. In view of the preparations we have made and the commitments we have undertaken, we should continue with the conference as already announced,” he noted.

Despite the dissent over timing, party leadership maintains that continuity and adherence to prior arrangements are vital, especially considering the logistical and financial groundwork already laid.
