In preparation for the impending Parliamentary Primaries scheduled for Saturday, January 27, 2024, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has unveiled an exhaustive list of designated voting centers. This strategic move is aimed at ensuring a seamless and transparent electoral process, with the party urging delegates to strictly adhere to the outlined guidelines. In a press statement issued by the NPP, the emphasis on following these guidelines is underscored as crucial for maintaining the integrity of the primaries. The party’s commitment to facilitating a smooth and transparent electoral process is indicative of its unwavering dedication to democratic principles and equitable representation.

In a significant development earlier this week, the NPP National Executive Council (NEC) made a pivotal announcement, disclosing the final list of candidates who will be vying for positions in the upcoming primaries. This revelation followed a thorough assessment conducted by both the National Parliamentary Appeals Committee (NPAC) and the National Parliamentary Vetting Committee (NPVC), which meticulously scrutinized the eligibility of aspirants for the parliamentary elections.

The decision-making process unfolded during a noteworthy meeting held on Wednesday, January 17, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra. The NEC, in collaboration with influential party figures, including the flagbearer, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Chairman Stephen Ayesu Ntim, former Chairman Freddie Blay, Chief of Staff Frema Osei Opare, and the former General Secretary, John Boadu, actively participated in the discussions. This gathering not only finalized the list of candidates but also devised comprehensive modalities for organizing and executing the parliamentary elections. The meticulous planning ensures that the electoral process adheres to the highest standards of fairness, accountability, and inclusivity.

As the NPP gears up for its Parliamentary Primaries, the party’s commitment to a transparent and well-organized election serves as a testament to its dedication to democratic values. The announcement of voting centers and the detailed candidate selection process highlight the NPP’s focus on upholding a democratic and participatory political landscape within the party.
