The Vice-President of the Republic and leading contender in the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primaries, has picked the last spot (tenth position) on the ballot paper for the party’s super delegates’ conference in which the ten contestants for the NPP flagbearership will be trimmed down to five for the main polls taking place on Saturday 4 November 2023.
The two closest contestants of the vice-president – Kennedy Agyapong and Alan Kyerematen – picked the first and second slots, respectively.
Joe Ghartey, the former minister of railways development and sitting MP for Essikado-Ketan in the Western Region took the third position.
The energy expert Kwadwo Poku secured the fourth spot and the former food and agriculture minister Owusu Afriyie Akoto picked the fifth.
The former NPP general secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, the former MP for Mampong in the Ashanti Region Francis Addai Nimoh, the economist and former regional co-operation minister Kofi Konadu Apraku and the former energy minister Boakye Agyarko picked the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth positions, respectively.
The balloting exercise took place at the NPP headquarters today (Wednesday 26 July 2023).
The exercise was postponed on Monday 24 July 2023 to Wednesday after representatives of some of the aspirants raised concerns about some of the modalities laid down for the exercise.
With the balloting out of the way, the presidential elections committee of the NPP is expected to publish the notice of poll on Thursday 27 July 2023, one month to the super delegates’ conference.
