NPP Annuls Constituency Executive Elections in Three Constituencies Over Electoral Irregularities
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has nullified the Constituency Executive Elections conducted in three constituencies following what it described as serious violations of party directives, election regulations, and, in some instances, existing court orders.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 15, the party announced that the National Steering Committee had taken the decision after reviewing reports on the constituency executive elections held across the country over the weekend.
The affected constituencies are Bantama, Afigya Sekyere East, and Adansi Asokwa, where the party said the elections were conducted in blatant disregard of the rules and regulations governing the 2026 Constituency Executive Elections.
As part of measures to establish the circumstances surrounding the incidents, the National Steering Committee has directed the Ashanti Regional Steering Committee to appear before it on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, to account for the conduct of the elections in the affected constituencies.
The party further disclosed that election-related disputes in Asante Akyem Central, together with all other unresolved constituency election disputes, have been referred to the Electoral Affairs Committee of the National Council for review, advice, and recommendations.
The NPP reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring transparency, fairness, and adherence to its constitution and regulations in the conduct of its internal elections. It stressed that the party remains committed to upholding the rule of law while safeguarding the integrity and credibility of its internal democratic processes.
The statement was jointly signed by Acting National Chairman Danquah Smith Buttey and General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong.
