NPP Delagates Conference: Voting ends, counting begins at Baba Yara Stadium

Voting has ended and counting of ballots has begun at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, where the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) National Executives Election took place. The election is part of the NPP's reorganisation ahead of the 2028 general election. Delegates voted to elect new national officers to lead the party.

According to MyJoyOnline Ghana, there was confusion at the Ashanti Region TESCON polling area during the election, as some delegates struggled to locate their names on the Electoral Commission's album. The issue caused agitation among the affected delegates, who feared they could be disenfranchised. Police intervened to restore order while EC officials worked to resolve the issue. The National Coordinator of TESCON later clarified that the confusion arose because some delegates went to the wrong polling centre.

The counting process is currently underway, with delegates and party supporters awaiting the results of the various executive positions.
