Forty-seven out of the 50 aspirants who purchased nomination forms to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2026 National Officers Elections have successfully filed their completed forms.
Forty-seven candidates filed their nomination forms for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2026 National Officers Elections, according to the National Officers Elections Committee (NOEC). The filing period concluded on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Three candidates did not complete the filing process. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, who aimed for the National Chairperson position, withdrew his candidature.
Evans Kodom, who planned to run as National Communications Director, stepped down during the filing process. Perpetual Ekua Lomokie Akwada, who sought the National Women Organiser role, did not submit her completed forms before the deadline.
