In preparation for the general elections that will take place in 2024, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will select a flagbearer on Saturday, November 4, 2023.
Over 200,000 party delegates are expected to attend, and the party is determined to select a qualified candidate who can end the eight-year election cycle curse.
The NPP is making every effort to be ready for this important election. Four candidates remain in the race for president as a result of the party’s August Super Delegates Conference, which reduced the field of ten flagbearer candidates to four.
The NPP is certain that the four candidates who are still in the race can easily lead the party to victory in 2024, despite the fact that several of the candidates who were previously on the list have chosen to withdraw from the contest.
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, MP for Assin Central Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Agriculture Minister Dr. Owusu Akoto Afriyie, and former MP for Mampong Francis Addai-Nimoh are the remaining four contenders in the race.
Several pollsters had Dr. Bawumia as the winner, but they also think Kennedy Agyapong will give him a serious fight.
In the event that any of the competitors lost, they were forced to sign a pledge promising not to leave the party.
Every constituency in each of the 16 regions of the nation will hold an election to select a flagbearer to represent the party in the general elections in 2024.
Kennedy Agyapong will be listed first on the ballot paper, with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia coming in second.
Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai Nimo, the former Mampong MP, will occupy the third and fourth positions, respectively.
