New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has established an Anti-Election Rigging Squad ahead of the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.
The move comes in response to growing concerns among his supporters about the possibility of electoral malpractice during the contest.
The Director of Elections for the Kennedy Agyapong campaign, Joojo Rocky Obeng, explained that the Anti-Rigging Response Team has been stationed in all 276 constituencies to monitor the polls.
“Our leader, Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong, sent a strong signal to all stakeholders that no one should attempt rigging this election. We have set up this Response Team to enforce his command and desire for a free and fair election. So this is to ensure that nobody rigs the elections—we mean nobody,” he said.
He added that the team’s aim is to ensure transparency in the process. “If this election is free and fair, Kennedy Agyapong will win, we know that, but to protect the integrity of the polls, we need to ensure that the right things are done.”
Delegates of the NPP will vote on January 31, 2026, to elect the party’s presidential candidate for the 2028 general elections.
The five contenders are Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Dr. Bryan Acheampong and Kwabena Agyapong.
