NPP DIRECTS CONSTITUENCY AND POLLING STATION EXECUTIVES TO UPDATE MEMBERSHIP REGISTER

The NPP, by this statement, directs Constituency and Polling Station executives of the party to update the membership register at all the polling stations in the country.

This, is in preparations towards the impending internal primaries of the party among other reasons.

National Secretariat takes cognizance of a memo sent to these external branches dated November 3, 2017 by the party’s International Relations Directorate on this subject which gave 21st December as the deadline for the completion and submission of their updated membership register. The party extends this deadline by ten additional days to be in line with the national deadline.
