Over the past three decades, NPP-USA has played a pivotal role in the growth and success of the party.
Its contributions include advocating for a democratic society, fighting for political power, championing constitutional reform, promoting innovation and technology in electoral processes, and establishing the External Affairs office, among other critical agendas.
Saturday’s event will feature an award ceremony honouring patriots who have contributed to building the party, as well as a fundraising activity to support the New Patriotic Party’s campaign and election efforts in 2024.
