The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has directed its members to join a nationwide post flood cleaning exercise this Friday and Saturday, timing the call to coincide with the party’s own constituency elections on Saturday.
The clean up follows a government declaration naming July 10 and July 11, 2026, as National General Cleaning Days across seven regions hit by flooding in late June. President John Dramani Mahama ordered the exercise through the Post Flood Mitigation Committee, with security agencies, district assemblies and waste management firms starting the work on Friday before members of the public join on Saturday.
NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong said in a statement issued on July 9 that party members should take part to support environmental sanitation, civic responsibility and national development. He said the initiative aligned with the party’s own goals for community engagement.
Frimpong noted that the NPP’s constituency elections, already scheduled for Saturday, will run on a walk in basis, letting members vote and then head straight into the clean up in their communities. The constituency polls form part of the NPP’s wider internal reorganisation exercise ahead of its national delegates conference later this year.
Parliament has also suspended its Friday sitting to allow members of parliament to take part in the exercise, underlining the scale of participation being sought across party lines just weeks after the floods.
