The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has constituted a joint committee to study the final proposals submitted by the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) to the President and to advise the party’s National Council on an official position.
The National Organiser of the party, Henry Nana Boakye, disclosed this in a statement, posted on Facebook on Tuesday, December 23, following the submission of the CRC’s final report to the President on Monday.
According to him, the NPP leadership had earlier established the joint committee as part of its participation in the constitution review process, tasking it with developing and presenting the party’s proposals to the CRC.

The committee is jointly led by the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee, Hon. Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, and the Chairman of the NPP’s Constitutional and Legal Committee, Frank Davies Esq.
“With the submission of the CRC’s final proposals to the President, the General Secretary of the Party has now directed the joint committee to carefully study the proposals and advise the National Council of the Party accordingly,” Mr Boakye said.
He noted that the move underscores the party’s structured and consultative approach to constitutional reform, ensuring that its response is grounded in thorough analysis and collective deliberation.
The joint committee includes several senior party figures and Members of Parliament, among them Hon. Hassan Tampuli, Hon. O.B. Amoah, Hon. Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Gary Nimako Esq., Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, Hon. Dr Mahama Tiah Abdul-Kabiru, Hon. Fati Abubakar, and Hanifa Adjoa Yahaya.
Mr Boakye urged party members and supporters to exercise restraint in their public commentary on the CRC proposals while the internal review process is ongoing.
“All party members are encouraged to be cautious with their commentary on the proposals of the CRC as we await the outcome of the joint committee’s study,” he stated.
He assured that the NPP’s official position on the final proposals submitted to the President would be communicated in due course, signalling that the party intends to speak with one voice once its internal consultations are concluded.
“The position of the Party on the final proposals submitted yesterday will soon be made public,” Mr Boakye added.
