The New Patriotic Party (NPP), has cautioned its delegates to strictly adhere to all laid down protocols for Saturday\u2019s parliamentary primaries. <\/p>\n

The party has said the rules frown on delegates showing their ballot after casting their votes, hence anybody who will defy that will be arrested.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen<\/strong>, General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua stressed the vote will not be counted. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who shows his or her ballot will be arrested. His or her vote will not be accepted. It is against our party\u2019s electoral rules. <\/p>\n

\u201cA vote is supposed to be secret. No one will also be allowed to take a photo of his vote. Nobody will be allowed to enter the poll booth with their phones,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n

In addition, he said no delegate will be allowed to stay at the centre after casting their vote, stating the Police is in charge of security and will ensure strict compliance. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be no private security or macho men. No aspirant has the power to bring any private security personnel to the election grounds,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Kodua expressed confidence the party leadership has been fair to all aspirants in its quest to ensure a transparent and smooth process.<\/p>\n
