The National Council of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), will today [Wednesday], hold a crunch meeting aimed at setting up a Committee to review proposals for constitutional amendment of the party’s constitution.<\/p>\n

The Committee will have a month or two to finish its work and report back to the Council.<\/p>\n

NPP founding fathers kick against constitutional review<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Association of Founding Fathers<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>and Patrons of the NPP in the Ashanti Region, earlier kicked against proposed changes to the party\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n

It warned that some of the amendments being canvassed were problematic and could create trouble for the party.<\/p>\n

The Association at a press conference addressed by its Chairman, Kofi Obiri Yeboah in Kumasi, made reference to the suggestion that Member of Parliament (MP)\/Parliamentary Candidate is allowed to appoint constituency and polling station officers, and described it as outrageous.<\/p>\n

They added that the party had come too far \u201cto throw democracy to the dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n
