NPP Primaries: Don’t camp delegates– NPP warns parliamentary aspirants

The governing New Patriotic Party has cautioned parliamentary aspirants against camping delegates ahead of the January 27, primaries.

The General Secretary of the party, Mr. Justin Kodua Frimpong at a press conference on January 22, 2024, noted that aspirants who camp or bus delegates will face sanctions.

The party also warned delegates to desist from displaying or using their phones to capture their ballots after voting.

Mr. Kodua Frimpong also announced that elections will be held in the Nhyiaeso Constituency following the discontinuation of a court case against the party by a polling station executive from the constituency.

“The party has formulated these rules and regulations to ensure free and fair elections and we believe that everyone should be allowed to feel free to walk to the polling centre to cast their votes. It is of this belief that we have made the statement that no one should camp delegates at any place.

“Those who take pictures of their votes, aside from nullifying your votes, it is an offense and you would be handed over to the Police”.

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the NPP at a meeting on Wednesday, January 17 revealed that 17 aspiring candidates have been disqualified from contesting in the party’s January 27 parliamentary primaries.

Moreover, 322 candidates qualified for the parliamentary primaries, three aspirants stepped down from the race, 33 individuals went unopposed, and one aspirant’s application is under court process.
