All is set for the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to hold its presidential primary scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, January 31, 2026.
Multiple official sources and party officials have confirmed that preparations are in place for the internal election to choose the party’s flagbearer ahead of the 2028 general election.
The NPP National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, has assured that the primary will be conducted free, fair, transparent, credible, and peaceful, with all systems in place for tomorrow’s voting.
Party leadership and the Presidential Elections Committee (PEC) have issued operational guidelines and strict procedures intended to support a smooth and orderly process.
Updated voting centres lists have been released and circulated to party executives nationwide to ensure delegates know where to cast their ballots.
The PEC has set detailed rules and measures for the voting day to safeguard the process and delegate conduct.
The NPP has designated the Ghana Police Service as the sole security agency at polling stations and collation centres to maintain security and prevent interference by unauthorised personnel.
Social and religious bodies like the Christian Council of Ghana have called for a peaceful election and decorous conduct by all stakeholders on Saturday.
The Electoral Commission (EC) has also confirmed readiness, with essential materials like ballots printed and distribution logistics underway for the January 31 exercise.
Five candidates, including former Assin Central Member of Parliament Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Abetifi MP and former Food and Agriculture Minister Bryan Acheampong, former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Bosomtwe MP and former Education Minister Yaw Osei Adutwum as well as former General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyepong are contesting the primary.
