The New Patriotic Party (NPP) will retain a bottom-up approach in conducting its internal elections, with the process running for six months from grassroots contests to the election of national executives, the party’s general secretary said on Wednesday.
Addressing a press briefing at the party’s headquarters in Accra, Justin Kodua Frimpong said the exercise will begin on 20 April, with nominations opening for polling station positions, and will end with national executive elections from 18 September.
“The elections of our polling station executives will be held from May 10 to May 16, 2026. When we are done with the polling station elections, we will move straight to the electoral area executive committee elections, which will take place from June 10 to June 15, 2026,” he said.
“The election of constituency officers will be held from July 11 to July 12, 2026. After that, we will move on to the chapter and external branch elections,” Kodua Frimpong added.
“For the chapter elections, the opening and closing of nominations, vetting, appeals, elections, data entry, and validation of the album are expected to take place within the period of June 20 to July 19, 2026,” he said.
“After that, we will move to the mother of all elections — the national elections — which shall be held between September 18 and September 20, 2026.”
