‘We are waiting for the delegates’ – NPP explains delay in voting at Kumasi conference
The Acting National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Danquah Smith Buttey, has attributed the delay in the commencement of voting at the party’s National Delegates Conference in Kumasi to the late arrival of delegates.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has explained the delay in voting at their National Delegates Conference held in Kumasi, Ghana. Acting National Chairman Danquah Smith Buttey attributed the delay to the late arrival of delegates. Voting was only expected to commence once the necessary number of delegates had reached the venue. Buttey stated that they were eagerly awaiting the delegates' arrival, adding that they would commence voting with just one-third of the delegates present.
When questioned about the cause of the delay, Buttey declined to provide a specific reason, stating that the delegates were still scattered at various locations. He dismissed the notion that some candidates were still engaging delegates on the day of the election, dismissing it as unusual and noting that such occurrences had been a regular part of the party's internal elections.
The NPP's National Delegates Conference and national officers' elections are taking place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, with an expected turnout of 7,163 delegates. The conference aims to discuss proposed constitutional amendments and subsequently elect the party's national officers.
