NPP orders parliamentary aspirants and their supporters to suspend campaign activities

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued an order for all prospective parliamentary candidates, their representatives and supporters to halt their campaign activities immediately. In a statement signed by the party's General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP expressed concerns that some aspirants had begun campaigning in various constituencies, violating party regulations and its Code of Conduct.

The directive covers a wide range of promotional activities, including the display of posters, billboards and banners, organizing rallies and constituency tours, as well as distributing campaign materials and paid media advertisements. The NPP also warned party officials, including those at polling stations, electoral areas, constituencies, regional and national levels, as well as TESCON members, against using their positions or social media to promote candidates prematurely.

Non-compliance would result in disciplinary action that could jeopardize their eligibility to contest. The party is awaiting the announcement of the timetable and guidelines for its parliamentary selection process.
