The New Patriotic Party will today, November 4, hold a presidential primary to elect a candidate for the 2024 Elections.
4 aspirants are vying for the position. Each of them say they are the best to lead the party to clinch victory in next year’s polls.
Vice-president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says his experience in governance and as a running mate coupled with his track record and commitment to the party make him the most suitable candidate for the flagbearership.
But MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong believes the electorates are yearning for a shift in leadership from theorists who give sugar-coated speeches and are more concerned about the next elections to a pragmatist like him who has demonstrable record of job creation and uses practical approaches to addressing the needs of the country.
For Dr. Afriyie Akoto, he has shown during his tenure as Minister of Food and Agriculture that he has what it takes to ensure Ghana is food secured and industrialized to end poverty, unemployment and propel development.
Francis Addai-Nimoh argues that the party requires a candidate who is unblemished in the eyes of the public and has a good track record to lead it into the elections. He believes he perfectly matches these requirements.
The process is taking place in the various constituencies across the country with over 200,000 delegates expected to cast their votes to decide who leads the party.
The police has assured of maximum security to ensure a seamless process and to prevent a repeat of the violence that characterised the August 26 Super Delegates Conference.
According to the Director of Electoral Services at the Electoral Commission, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, all is set for the commencement of the elections this morning.
Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, Haruna Mohammed urged the delegates to conduct themselves well in order not to jeopardise the peace and unity of the party.
