The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that its National Executive elections will be held from September 18 to 20, 2026, as part of a detailed roadmap for the party’s internal electoral calendar.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, February 18, the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, outlined the key timelines leading up to the elections. Nominations for various positions will open from August 10 to 14, with aspirants required to submit their forms between August 15 and 17. Vetting of candidates will take place from August 20 to 23.
Filing fees for the top positions have been set at GHC50,000 for the National Chairperson, GHC30,000 for the Vice Chairperson, and GHC20,000 for the General Secretary. The vetting report will be presented on August 25, followed by an appeals window on August 28 and 29.
Mr. Kodua Frimpong also noted that the tenure of some party officials will expire during the electoral period. To ensure continuity and a smooth process, the mandates of polling station executives, constituency executives, branch executives, electoral area coordinators, and regional executives have been extended.
“This will help not to distort the elections,” he explained, emphasizing that the move is intended to guarantee an orderly internal electoral process.
