Confusion rocks voting centre n the Ashanti region as delegate allegedly displays cast ballot.
Confusion has rocked the voting centre in the Ashanti region after the Regional Youth Organizer publicly displayed his ballot after voting.
The polling agents protested the action by Mr Raphael Sarfo Patrick.
This stalled the process momentarily as police and electoral commission officers tried to resolve the issue. The party ahead of the super delegates congress warned delegates against publicly displaying their ballots after voting.
Voting is underway across the country in the New Patriotic Party’s Super Delegates Congress.
The NPP is seeking to whittle down the number of aspirants from 10 to 5 ahead of the party’s congress in November this year.
The 10 aspirants are:
Alan Kyerematen, former Trade Minister
Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, Former Agriculture Minister
Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Assin Central
Joe Ghartey, former Railways Minister
Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, former party General Secretary
Kwadwo Poku, an energy expert
Boakye Agyarko, former Energy Minister
Kofi Konadu Apraku, former Trade Minister
Francis Addai Nimoh, former Member of Parliament for Mampong.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President
The election will be held nationwide with over 900 delegates taking part.
The five aspirants who secure the highest number of votes will go on to contest the party’s primaries in November, where they will compete to become the NPP’s flagbearer for the 2024 general election.
