The Regional Coordinator of the Volunteer Groups of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) in the Oti region, Hon. Wilson Marfo Kpakpladja has disclosed that the Volunteer Groups of the party contributed immensely to the electoral fortunes of the party in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Hon. Kpakpladja said this during the launch of “Unique Ladies,” a volunteer group for Dr. Bawumia and the NPP today, 10th May, 2024 in Dambai, the Oti regional capital.
He was optimistic that once there are patriots who are not part of the functional party structures but are willing to work for the betterment of the party, the party will retain power and Dr. Bawumia will become the next president of Ghana.
He added that the Volunteer Groups give individuals who are not part of the functional structures of the party the platform to operate.
Hon. Marfo Kpakpladja stated that “Unique Ladies” and many other volunteer groups will play critical roles in the ongoing campaign and upcoming general elections.
He was also sure that with time the various volunteer groups would be absorbed into the functional party structures just as TESCON and NASARA.
He, however, advised the volunteer groups to know their duties and act accordingly.
He said one of their cardinal duties is to market the party’s candidates, both presidential and parliamentary.
Again, he said their role is complementary to the party’s Functional Executives. Theirs is to support the elected officers to make their work easier, and not out there to compete with them.
