General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Justin Frimpong Kodua says the ongoing membership registration of the party provides eligibility to all Ghanaians to register. 

‎Speaking at a press conference on Thursday March 12, Mr Kodua indicated that, the online portal has been launched to facilitate registration between March 1 and March 31, adding it is open to all eligible Ghanaians. 

‎"Dues must be paid through the party’s digital platform. Dues cards issued to constituencies serve only as confirmation of payments recorded on the system."

‎"Constituency treasurers, secretaries, and chairmen have access to the platform to verify members’ payment records and authenticate dues cards", he explained.  

‎The General secretary of the biggest opposition party however warned that constituency executives are not permitted to collect dues or any money from party members.

‎Below are the key takeaway of the press conference

‎•The online registration portal accommodates three categories: registered voters, non-registered voters, and members abroad.

‎•Members who complete online registration and pay dues receive a temporary digital membership card. A physical visit to the polling station is required to complete registration and obtain a permanent membership card.

‎•A three-week nationwide exercise will take place across 276 constituencies and over 40,000 polling stations, every Saturday and Sunday from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM, from 14th March to 31st March.

‎•Dues can be paid via USSD code **920*270#* or through the NPP Mobile App.

‎•A call centre has been established to monitor the exercise and receive reports of non-compliance.

‎ONLINE REGISTRATION PORTAL

‎The National Secretariat has launched an online membership registration portal to provide members with a convenient platform to:

‎MEMBERSHIP VERIFICATION
