I write to you under the Whistle Blower’s Act about plans to compromise the outcome of the NPP Presidential Primary
A whistleblower has exposed an alleged plot to undermine the integrity of the New Patriotic Party’s NPP presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.
Ernest Conduah of the Sekondi Constituency has formally alerted the leadership of the party to what he describes as a coordinated attempt to manipulate the outcome of the election.
In a complaint submitted under the Whistle Blower’s Act and copied to the media, Conduah said he had gathered intelligence pointing to a “well-rehearsed plot” allegedly linked to elements within the campaign of Kennedy Agyapong, aimed at distorting the results of the January 31 NPP presidential primary.
“I write to you under the Whistle Blower’s Act to inform you and the leadership of the New Patriotic Party about plans to compromise the outcome of the January 31 NPP Presidential Primary,” the whistleblower stated.
Conduah alleged that the scheme involves individuals posing as polling agents who would use a mobile application to circulate misleading results to the public before official collation and declaration by the Electoral Commission.
According to him, the plan would begin with agents monitoring voter turnout at polling stations. After voting ends, these agents would allegedly be replaced by another group assigned to supervise the counting process.
He claimed that during counting, the substituted agents would use the application to transmit fabricated figures from each polling station, even before counting is completed.
The whistleblower further alleged that the application would automatically distribute total votes among the candidates, assigning what he described as a disproportionate “lion’s share” to Kennedy Agyapong.
He said the falsified results would then be transmitted to a central collation point and used to announce a premature victory.
Conduah warned that such an early declaration would be aimed at triggering celebrations by supporters of the affected candidate, demoralising supporters and agents of other aspirants and possibly forcing them to abandon the process nationwide.
He also alleged that some National Security operatives could be disguised as police officers and deployed to polling stations across the country as part of the plan.
Conduah urged the leadership of the NPP to treat his report with urgency and take immediate steps to protect the credibility of the primaries and the will of delegates.
“By submitting this report to you under the Whistle Blower’s Act, I am alerting you to a serious intended plot which, if left unchecked, could create chaos on Saturday,” he cautioned.
NPP reacts
Meanwhile, the National Organiser of the NPP, Henry Nana Boakye, has issued a strong warning against the presence of any unauthorised security personnel at polling centres.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the party said only the Ghana Police Service has been officially mandated to provide security for the presidential primary.
“The New Patriotic Party, through the Presidential Elections Committee, has formally designated the Ghana Police Service as the only security institution responsible for providing security for the party’s presidential primary scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026,” the statement said.
The party stressed that it would not tolerate the presence or activities of non-uniformed, plain-clothed or unauthorised security operatives deployed by National Security or any other institution at voting centres, collation points or related activities.
Boakye warned that any such deployment would be considered a deliberate and unlawful intrusion into the party’s internal democratic processes, with the potential to disrupt or manipulate the election.
He added that the NPP would take all lawful steps necessary to protect the integrity of the primary and ensure a free, fair and credible process…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
