The United Kingdom branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has inaugurated an 11-member Reforms Committee to review its operations and recommend changes to strengthen the branch.

The committee was inaugurated by Branch Chairman Andy Owusu on Sunday, November 8, 2026, during an extraordinary meeting in London.

The exercise is expected to examine the branch’s existing structures, improve accountability and recommend ways to make its operations more effective.

Edmund Sekyere to chair committee

Edmund Sekyere has been appointed chairperson of the committee, with George Nana Boakye serving as vice-chairperson. Dr Sandra Appiah-Kubi is the secretary.

The other members are Alex Appiah Mensah, Rukaya Acheampong, Margaret Kwarteng, Doreen Kyeremeh, Richard Bioh, Rob Nayan, Michael Osei Frimpong and Douglas Osei-Appauh.

Mr Owusu urged the members to approach the assignment with diligence and impartiality.

What the committee will review

The committee will examine the branch’s decision-making processes, the responsibilities of its officers, chapter administration, member participation and accountability.

It will also identify existing rules, regulations and procedures that may need clarification or improvement.

One key issue will be determining the number of chapters the NPP should have across the UK, where they should be located and how they should be organised and managed.

Mr Owusu has also asked the committee to engage members across the various chapters and consider their experiences, concerns and suggestions.

He said the exercise must produce practical recommendations rather than a report that would simply be left on a shelf.

The Branch Executive Committee is also expected to consult the Council of Elders and request representation on the reform committee.

Committee given six months

The committee has an initial six-month mandate beginning November 8, 2026, with its work expected to run until around May 2027.

At the end of the review, it is expected to submit a report to the Branch Executive Committee outlining the challenges identified, proposed reforms and an implementation plan.

Any proposed changes will have to follow the party’s established procedures before they can be implemented.

The initiative forms part of efforts to strengthen the NPP UK branch’s structures and improve its ability to serve party members.
