The New Patriotic Party (NPP) announced the successful conclusion of its constituency executive elections across Ghana, with voting completed in 245 of the 276 designated constituencies. This marks a significant milestone in the party's internal organizational processes.
General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong reported an 88.7% success rate for the exercise, characterizing the conducted elections as peaceful. He expressed gratitude to party members for their commitment and discipline throughout the process, emphasizing their contribution to the smooth execution of the elections where they took place.
However, the party's electoral roadmap faced some hurdles. Elections in 23 constituencies were put on hold due to various disputes, while four others, Ningo Prampram, Atwima Mponua, Obuasi West, and Trobu, could not proceed with their elections because of last-minute challenges. The NPP's National Steering Committee is set to review the election activities in these affected areas, including Afigya Sekyere East, Adansi Asokwa, Bantama, and Asante Akyem Central, to address outstanding issues and ensure the comprehensive completion of the executive elections.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all Patriots for their commitment, discipline, and support, which contributed to the successful conduct of these elections.
