The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has released the list of voting centres for its upcoming presidential primaries, which are scheduled for Saturday, November 4, 2023. The primaries will determine the party’s flagbearer for the 2024 general elections and will be held simultaneously in all 275 constituencies across all 16 regions of the country.
The contest features four candidates: Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Food and Agriculture Minister Dr Owusu Akoto Afriyie, and former MP for Mampong, Francis Addai-Nimoh.
Ahead of this contest, former Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, resigned from the party and declared his intention to contest as an independent candidate, citing intimidation of his supporters.
The party has also warned that the police will take decisive action against party supporters who attempt to disrupt the election process.
In a balloting event held on Wednesday, September 13, 2023, Kennedy Agyapong drew the first slot, followed by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who selected the second slot. Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto secured the third slot, while former MP for Mampong, Francis Addai Nimo, chose the fourth slot. This balloting process was conducted by the party’s national election committee.
