The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has embarked on a nationwide exercise to retrieve campaign pick-up vehicles from its parliamentary candidates. This move follows an undertaking by the candidates to release the vehicles after the campaign period, which ended on December 9, 2024.
In a letter dated December 20, 2024, NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, instructed all parliamentary candidates to hand over the vehicles to their respective constituency executive committees. The NPP leadership has commended the candidates for conducting a peaceful and successful campaign and has expressed appreciation for their cooperation.
The retrieval of campaign vehicles is a common practice in Ghanaian politics, aimed at promoting transparency and accountability. In the past, some candidates have been accused of selling or keeping campaign vehicles for personal use. By retrieving these vehicles, the NPP demonstrates its commitment to responsible resource management.
The retrieved vehicles will be overseen by the constituency executive committees, which will ensure their maintenance and use for party activities. This move is expected to strengthen the party’s grassroots structure and ensure that resources are utilized efficiently.
