Ahead of the New Patriotic Party’s Parliamentary Primaries on Saturday, 20th June 2020, Candidates have been asked to cease all forms of campaign activities by midnight of June 19, 2020.
The party says Candidates shall campaign on issues and refrain from leveling unsubstantiated allegations, personal attacks, and vilifications against their opponents.
A press release issued by General Secretary, John Boadu said No candidate shall undertake any activity that will polarize the Constituency along tribal, religious and other factional lines. Candidates shall also require their supporters not to engage in any of these activities.
According to the release, it is an offense to:
a) Vote or attempt to vote more than once at the primaries.
b) Buy or sell a vote
c) Compel somebody to vote in a particular way
d) Obstruct a delegate from freely exercising his or her right to vote
e) Display your marked ballot paper in such a way as to make it known to others the candidate you are voting for.
