The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rescheduled its internal elections.

In a statement issued by the Acting General Secretary of the party, John Boadu said the primaries have been rescheduled from 21-24 February to 24-27 February 2018.

“The NPP, by this statement, is informing all stakeholders of the party and the general public that the party's Constituency Primaries originally scheduled to be held between 21st to 24th February 2018, has been rescheduled. The primaries would now be held from Saturday, 24th February to Tuesday, February 27.”

“This decision has been necessitated by a number of compelling reasons including some important commitments of the party, government as well as the party's Members of Parliament in the august house, all of which coincide with the original dates for the Constituency Annual Delegates Conference, otherwise known as the constituency primaries,” he added.

John Boadu said the statement issued is, therefore, to serve all stakeholders “especially the various Constituency Elections Committee (CEC), candidates, delegates and indeed every stakeholder of the party to act accordingly.”
