The Member of Parliament for Akropong Constituency in the Eastern Region, Sammi Awuku, has cautioned against calls for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to widen its voters’ register, warning that such a move could allow unwanted elements into the party.

He argued that opening up the party’s internal elections to every card-bearing member without proper safeguards could be dangerous.
“If you open your goalpost unprotected and allow every card-bearing member to vote in your internal primaries, they will end up electing your leaders for you,” he cautioned.
He further described the idea that every card-bearing member should vote in internal party elections as utopian, stressing that the practice does not exist anywhere in the world. He cited countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom as examples.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show (CBS), Sammi Awuku, who also serves as a Senior Campaign Adviser to the Bawumia Campaign Team, revealed that some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have infiltrated the NPP’s delegates’ album and could remain delegates till March, 2026.
“Even in my current album, I can tell you that there are a couple of NDC members who were able to find their way into it. They have a four-year mandate which ends in March. Through our scrutiny, we uncovered that these are NDC people,” he stated.

Earlier on the show, the Akropong legislator explained that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is focused on repositioning the NPP to make it more attractive to Ghanaians.
“What I know is key to him now, is how the NPP positions itself in the minds of the Ghanaian people. That is why it is about strengthening the grassroots of the NPP,” he said.
He added that discipline within the party is crucial for electoral success, noting that “a party that is not disciplined cannot win elections.”
Sammi Awuku further announced that Dr. Bawumia intends to make the NPP a party of choice, appealing to the middle class, captains of industry, and Ghanaians across all social levels.
He explained that the party’s policies, including free maternal healthcare and the School Feeding Programme, are aimed at addressing the needs of ordinary citizens while promoting economic growth.
According to him, the NPP is committed to building peace, unity, and cohesion within the party as it prepares for future elections.
