NPP Will Not Vote For Good Candidates Kwabena Agyepong & Boakye Agyarko – Amaliba

The newly-appointed Director of Conflict Resolution for the  National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abraham Amaliba, has indicated that two out of the ten flagbearer hopefuls of the New Patriotic Party ( NPP) Kwabena Agyei Agyepong and Boakye Agyarko are writing the right notes with their campaign messages.

But, he said, these are the people that the delegates will not vote for.

The NPP will be going for their super delegates conference on Saturday August 26 to reduce the number of flagbearer hopefuls from ten to five.

Contributing to a discussion on this on the Big Issue on TV3 Friday August  25, 2023, Mr Amaliba said “There are some candidates like Kwabena Agyepong and Boakye Agyarko who are striking the right notes but these are people who the delegates won’t vote for.”

Meanwhile  the NPP has warned all delegates who will be voting in the special delegates conference on Saturday, August 26 that publicly displaying cast ballots constitutes a criminal offense.

The party served notice that those who violate this provision shall be subjected to legal repercussions in accordance with the law.

“Delegates are hereby informed that any cast ballots publicly displayed will be rejected,” a statement issued by the Presidential Election Committee on Thursday, August 24 said.

It added “We wish to further emphasize that there will be no congress on the day of voting, and voting will be strictly walk-in.

“Considering this, it is anticipated that there will be no provision for a public address or occasion for any National Party Executive, government representative, or regional executive to publicly address delegates on the day of the voting.

“We wish to reassure all relevant parties, including stakeholders, delegates, aspirants, and the public that with these guidelines in place, no individual can decipher the voting preferences and patterns of specific voters after the voting process concludes. This measure guarantees the integrity and confidentiality of the voting exercise.”
