The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is taking steps to retrieve campaign vehicles from its parliamentary candidates. This move is part of the party's efforts to promote transparency and accountability, especially after some candidates were accused of misusing campaign vehicles in the past.
According to reports, the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, has instructed all parliamentary candidates to hand over the vehicles to their respective constituency executive committees. This directive is aimed at ensuring that the vehicles are used for party activities and not for personal gain.
It's worth noting that the NPP had previously urged its parliamentary candidates to intensify their engagement with constituents ¹. However, now that the campaign period has ended, the party is focusing on retrieving its campaign assets, including the vehicles.
By taking this step, the NPP demonstrates its commitment to responsible resource management and grassroots development. The retrieved vehicles will be overseen by constituency executive committees, ensuring their maintenance and use for party activities.
