The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has opened nominations for the election of its presidential candidate for the 2028 general elections.
Interested aspirants are required to pay a non-refundable application fee of GHS100,000, and the final filing fee set at GH₵500,000.
This was announced at a press briefing by the party's general secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, who indicated that the primaries will be held on January 31, 2026.
"I'm happy to announce to you that we have officially opened nominations for our party members to become presidential candidates of our party for the 2028 elections," the General Secretary declared, setting the timeline for the crucial exercise.
The nomination period, which commenced today, July 29, 2025, and will close on Thursday, August 28, 2025.
The NPP's decision to open nominations nearly two and a half years before the 2028 general elections highlights the party's intent to provide ample time for its flagbearer to prepare and unite the party ranks after a potentially bruising primary contest.
It also reflects a strategic move to focus early on internal cohesion and external campaigning.
