NPP 2026 presidential primaries – The completion of voter album verification and validation announced

The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Presidential Elections Committee has announced the successful completion of its nationwide voter album verification and validation exercise ahead of the party’s presidential primaries set for Saturday, January 31, 2026.

Speaking at a press conference at the NPP headquarters in Accra, Committee Chairman Joseph Osei-Owusu said the exercise covered all constituencies and external branches of the party.

He explained that all presidential aspirants would receive the provisional voter register on Thursday, November 13, 2025, allowing a two-week period for verification and feedback before finalisation.

“The nationwide voter album verification and validation exercise has been successfully concluded. In the interest of transparency and fairness, all aspirants will be furnished with the provisional voter register on Thursday, November 13, 2025, for verification and feedback,” Mr. Osei-Owusu said.

He added that while minor administrative discrepancies such as spelling errors and omissions were identified, they did not compromise the credibility of the register. Those issues, he said, were being corrected. Delegates who had passed away or forfeited their membership were also removed, in line with the party’s constitution.

The five aspirants contesting for the NPP flagbearer position are Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong.

To ensure transparency and fairness, the Committee outlined several measures, including exclusive election-day security by the Ghana Police Service, strict access control at voting centres, and full supervision by the Electoral Commission (EC).
