Ashanti Region Reconciliation Committee Inaugural Meeting
The Ashanti Region Reconciliation Committee, chaired by Ambassador Edward Boateng, held its
inaugural meeting on February 8th, 2024, at Asokwa in Kumasi. At this pivotal gathering, the
Chairman, referencing a memo issued by the General Secretary of the Party, laid out the
Committee’s primary objectives, marking the commencement of a critical phase in the party’s
journey towards unity and strength.
In line with the memo, the Committee is dedicated to addressing the underlying issues that have
led to divisions within the party, emphasizing the need for leadership and vision clarity. Inspired
by Nelson Mandela’s approach in South Africa, the Committee aims to foster clear, inclusive
leadership and a vision of unity that transcends individual differences and aligns with the
collective aspirations of the party’s members.
The Committee recognizes the importance of open and inclusive dialogue, as demonstrated by
the success of the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland. Engaging all stakeholders in
constructive conversations is seen as crucial for understanding diverse perspectives and fostering
a sense of belonging and commitment among party members.

and ensuring that all members have a voice in the reconciliation process are fundamental steps
towards healing and unity within Ashanti region.
