NPP Launches New Party Membership Identity Card

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Tuesday, October 19 2022, launched a new Membership Information Management System (MIMS) which will allow for the national roll-out of membership cards and enhance the management of membership data.

The launch was done by His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic of Ghana.

The event, which took place at the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi, was attended by many people including National Officers, Regional and Constituency Executives, Ministers of State, Members of Parliament, CEOs of government agencies and departments, MMDCEs and other government appointees.

It also saw the attendance of hundreds of party faithfuls and sympathizers.

Speaking at the event, the National Chairman of the Party, Mr. Stephen Ayensu- Ntim, observed that the party had been lurching amidst several challenges to roll out a robust membership identification system. What had been unveiled was thus an “intelligent one-stop card”.

He was extremely excited that its eventual launch had happened under the current leadership of the party.

Chairman Ntim expressed hope and a firm conviction that this initiative would be embraced by all party members to enable the NPP have a comprehensive database of its membership globally.

He added that the membership drive has become necessary in the party's bid to break the 8-year governance cycle.

Lawyer Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the NPP, in his address, also noted some unique features of the new membership card including a QR code that would embed the personal details of the bearer.

He explained that the card is non-renewable so long as the bearer remains a member of the NPP and stressed it is the first of its kind in the history of the New Patriotic Party.
