NPP Confirms Voting Centres for Presidential Primary

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has released its final list of approved voting centres for its presidential primary scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026.

The updated document has been circulated to regional and constituency executives, election coordinators and security officials, detailing all polling venues across the party’s 276 constituencies nationwide.

Clarifying Arrangements Ahead of Polls

Party sources say the revised list, issued less than 24 hours before voting, is intended to clarify voting arrangements and resolve logistical concerns raised by regional party structures.

The move is also aimed at helping accredited delegates identify their correct polling stations early, to ensure a smooth and orderly voting process on election day.

“This update is to guarantee a seamless exercise. All accredited delegates are encouraged to verify their designated voting centres early to avoid confusion,” a senior party official told JoyNews.

Five Candidates in High-Stakes Contest

Saturday’s primary will see five candidates contest the NPP’s flagbearer position ahead of the 2028 general elections. They are:

• Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Vice-President
• Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former MP for Assin Central
• Dr. Bryan Acheampong, MP for Abetifi and Minister of Food and Agriculture
• Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, MP for Bosomtwe and Minister of Education
• Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, former NPP General Secretary

The outcome is expected to shape the party’s future direction following its defeat in the 2024 general elections.

Security Measures Finalised

The NPP leadership says comprehensive security arrangements have been finalised in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service and other state agencies to ensure calm and order at all voting centres.

General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong has urged delegates to act responsibly, warning that any misconduct will attract sanctions.

“The NPP’s democratic credentials are built on fairness, transparency and discipline. We expect delegates to demonstrate these values,” he said.

Assurance of Transparency

The party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) has reaffirmed its commitment to a free, fair and credible election.

Officials confirmed that:

• Proxy voting will not be allowed
• Mobile phones are banned inside voting booths
• Delegates must present valid party ID and national identification

The NPP leadership expressed confidence that the revised arrangements will lead to a peaceful and credible primary.
