The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has assured that it is fully prepared for its presidential primary scheduled for January 31, 2026.
Chairman of the NPP Presidential Elections Committee, Joseph Osei Owusu, said the party’s internal election machinery is in place and functioning smoothly.
“We are very set. We are also relying on two state agencies. The police have assured us that they are heavily prepared and set for the day. The EC is fully set. They have appointed their district officers to be in charge of each of the polling stations,” he said on the Channel One Newsroom on Thursday, January 22.
Mr. Owusu added that ballot printing is currently underway, with each presidential aspirant having agents on site to monitor the process and ensure it aligns with the party’s arrangements.
“So beyond any human failings, I could say we are 100% set,” he stated.
His remarks come after the five presidential aspirants signed a peace pact earlier on Thursday, committing to a peaceful, transparent, and credible primary process.
The ceremony, held in Accra, saw the aspirants pledge unity before, during, and after the election.
Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who was present at the event, urged party members to prioritise unity, reminding them that the NPP is bigger than any individual or faction.
The aspirants are former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia; former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong; Abetifi MP, Dr. Bryan Acheampong; Bosomtwe MP, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum; and former General Secretary of the party, Ing. Kwabena Agyepong.
Party leadership has also appealed to all contestants to accept the outcome of the primary and support the eventual winner in the interest of unity.
