The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said that it would rigorously abide by the laws and regulations regulating its primaries on November 4 and that it will not put up with any irregularities that were noted in the Super Delegate’s Congress on August 26.
Professor Michael Oquaye, the chairman of the NPP Presidential Elections Committee, stated that the party is simplifying and strengthening the procedures, particularly those controlling proxies, to guarantee that the primaries are impartial and open.
“We know there have been a lot of problems about proxies where people sometimes come and no one can really tell until the last minute, and we are going to resolve this a month before the elections,” Oquaye said.
The NPP is dedicated to making sure that the primaries on November 4 are free, fair, and credible, and that the party will win the elections regardless of who ends up as the candidate, according to Oquaye.
“In fact, we are streamlining and tightening the rules in such a way that at the end of the day, the NPP will win, and not any particular person so that at the end of the day, it is clear and plain,” Oquaye added.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president, Kennedy Agyapong, member of parliament for Assin Central, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, a former minister of agriculture, and Addai Nimo, a former member of parliament for Mampong, are vying for the position of party flagbearer.
