NPP delegates, not social media, will decide election winners – Miracles Aboagye

Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a candidate for the National Director of Communications role within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has dismissed forecasts from political analyst Musah Dankwah regarding the likely victors in the party’s upcoming officer elections. Mr. Aboagye emphasized that the results will ultimately hinge on the votes of the delegates rather than social media speculation.

Speaking prior to the NPP’s National Delegates Conference in Kumasi on October 3, he noted that Mr. Dankwah’s predictions are based on the names discussed on social media platforms rather than interactions with the actual delegates. “Musah Dankwah is simply listing the names that all NPP people have been mentioning on social media,” Mr. Aboagye remarked.

He underscored that the delegates present during the conference will cast the final votes, and Dankwah’s engagement with social media discussions does not provide a direct insight into the voting intentions. Aboagye reiterated that the party is seeking leaders capable of fulfilling their duties, not those chosen solely based on predictions.

“We are seeking leaders who can execute their roles,” he stated, reiterating that the ultimate decision rests with the party’s delegates. Regardless of the outcome, Aboagye stressed the importance of unity among the contenders to support the chosen leader and serve the party’s interests. “Whatever decision is made, we’ll all rally behind and work for the party,” he affirmed.

The NPP is convening its National Delegates Conference at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, where delegates are tasked with electing nine national officers. A total of 7,163 delegates are anticipated to participate in this internal reorganization process, which is a preparatory step for the 2028 general election. The Electoral Commission is overseeing the proceedings to ensure a smooth and transparent voting process.
