NPP set to elect national executives ahead of 2028 elections

The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is set to elect its national executives on Saturday, October 3, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. This electoral process marks the party's internal reorganisation as it prepares for the 2028 general election. Approximately 7,100 delegates from across the country are expected to participate in these elections, with the National Officers Elections Committee (NOEC) overseeing the party's internal electoral arrangements.

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party's flagbearer for the 2028 presidential election, will be expected to work with the new leadership as they prepare for the upcoming general election. Of the 47 candidates who filed nominations, one withdrew, leaving 46 candidates on the final ballot. The National Chairperson position has four candidates, while the Vice-Chairperson position has thirteen.

The General Secretary position has four candidates, including the incumbent, while the National Treasurer position has four candidates. The National Organiser position has seven candidates, including the current National Youth Organiser, and the National Women's Organiser position is a two-way contest between two candidates. The NPP has established 31 voting centres within the Baba Yara Sports Stadium to streamline the voting process and prevent it from extending into the night.

The conference will begin with party business before the electoral process, focusing on proposed amendments to the NPP's constitution.
