The Ashanti Regional branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has introduced a new policy of deploying its communicators to television and radio stations to defend the party in Kumasi.
The deployment exercise commenced on Monday, September 7, 2026, under the Ashanti Regional NPP Communications Officer, Dr. Keskine Owusu Poku.
The DAILY GUIDE has seen a copy of the list of recognised party communicators in the Ashanti Region and the stations they have been assigned to.
The list, authored and signed by Dr. Poku, contains the names of the communicators and their assigned stations.
The policy is aimed at streamlining the party’s communications in the region, ensuring a common language, promoting discipline and enhancing monitoring.
The Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, popularly known as COKA, announced the policy a few weeks ago, saying it will improve the party’s communications.
He recounted how the party’s communications had suffered in the past due to lack of control over its communications wing.
According to COKA, the era where people visited radio and television stations on their own to speak on behalf of the NPP in Kumasi is over.
“You can’t just go to a radio and television station in the Ashanti Region, especially in Kumasi, on your own to talk on behalf of the NPP. This will not be tolerated,” he said.
“Now, it is only the Ashanti Regional NPP Communications Officer, Dr. Keskine Owusu Poku, who will assign party communicators to speak for the NPP in the media in Kumasi,” he added.
