Accra, Sept. 6, GNA – The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has cleared all 47 aspirants who filed nominations to contest its 2026 National Officers’ Elections.
The decision followed a four-day vetting exercise from August 31 to September 3 to determine the eligibility of aspirants seeking election to nine national executive positions.
A statement signed by Mr Frederick Opare-Ansah, Chairman of the NPP National Officers’ Elections Committee, said all 47 aspirants who appeared before the Vetting Committee had satisfied the requirements to contest the elections.
The positions are National Chairperson, Vice Chairpersons, General Secretary, National Treasurer, National Organiser, National Women’s Organiser, National Youth Organiser, National Nasara Organiser and National Communications Director.
The committee said the vetting was conducted in accordance with the party’s constitution and regulations governing the elections.
The NPP has scheduled October 3, 2026, for the elections in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
The elections will be organised by the party’s National Elections Committee under the supervision of the Electoral Commission.
The exercise is expected to produce a new team of national officers as the NPP reorganises ahead of the 2028 general election.
The party is also scheduled to hold a joint meeting of its National Executive Committee and National Council on September 10, with the notice of poll expected to be published on September 14.
The electoral college comprises members of the National Council, National Executive Committee, Regional Executive Committees, Constituency Executive Committees and External Branch Executive Committees.
