The New Patriotic Party, NPP, has postponed its constituency primaries to elect new Party executives from the 21-24 February to 24-27 February 2018.

The Acting General Secretary of the NPP, John Boadu, revealed in a statement that: “The NPP, by this statement, is informing all stakeholders of the party and the general public that the party's Constituency Primaries originally scheduled to be held between 21st to 24th February 2018, has been RESCHEDULED. The primaries would now be held from *SATURDAY, 24th February to Tuesday, February 27.

“This decision has been necessitated by a number of compelling reasons including some important commitments of the party, government as well as the party's Members of Parliament in the august house, all of which coincide with the original dates for the Constituency Annual Delegates Conference, otherwise known as the constituency primaries.

“Notice is therefore served on all and sundry especially the various Constituency Elections Committee (CEC), candidates, delegates and indeed every stakeholder of the party to act accordingly.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the NPP wishes to once again state that the 2018 Constituency Annual Delegates Conference of the party would now be held from Saturday, 24th February to Tuesday, 27th February 2018. Any inconvenience that may be occasioned by this latest decision is deeply regretted.”

The NPP national steering committee after its second general meeting for 2018, on Wednesday, February, 6 considered and approved the rules and regulations for the conduct of constituency primaries.

The Acting general secretary, John Boadu further urged all stakeholders, especially the would-be candidates for the various positions in the upcoming primaries and their supporters to respect the rules and regulations in order to have an incidence-free election.
