A decision to also bar party members with dual citizenship from contesting executive positions in the party has seen many members of the party in the diaspora upset with scores threatening to either seek legal redress or quit the NPP should the party go ahead to implement the said reforms. <\/p>\n<p>Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has meanwhile rubbished the suggestion to bar such members of the party in the diaspora from contesting executive positions in the party. He says the move is a senseless one which will be shot down at the Conference.<\/p>\n<p>Watch a livestream of the New Patriotic Party&#8217;s Extraordinary National Delegates Conference here.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FGhonetv%2Fvideos%2F1527143267340167%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=600\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 45 updated by: 45 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Sunday, 17 December 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-12-17 play videoOver 5,000 delegates are to decide on key constitutional amendments for the party today The governing New Patriotic Party is today holding a National Delegates Conference in the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi, to among others, consider major amendments to the party&#8217;s constitution.
