NPP’s presidential primaries scheduled to take place on Nov 4 in every constituency
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Presidential Elections Committee has announced that the Presidential Primaries scheduled for November 4th will take place in all the party’s constituencies nationwide.
Professor Michael Oquaye, the Chairman of the Committee, confirmed that each constituency will have designated polling centers for the elections.
With over 200,000 NPP delegates set to participate on November 4th in the process of selecting a Presidential Candidate for the 2024 election, Professor Michael Oquaye assured that the elections will be conducted in a free and fair manner.
He explained, “The Electoral Commission will also be fully in charge of the process, in fact, it’s going to be like any other national election. Every constituency, there will be a centre in it and for that matter, the EC will go about the process of conducting the elections. What this means in effect is that no authority, no person, whether by way of a party person will be part of the process of conducting the elections.”
On September 22, the Presidential Elections Committee of the party released the guidelines for the November 4 primaries, which are set to occur in all 276 constituencies across the country and at the Party Headquarters in Asylum Down, Accra.
In a statement issued in Accra, the committee outlined the procedures and rules governing the primaries, which will determine the NPP’s presidential candidate for the 2024 general election.
The four individuals competing for the presidential candidacy are Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, MP for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong, former MP for Mampong Francis Addai-Nimoh, and former Agriculture Minister Dr. Owusu Akoto Afriyie.
