NPP Opens Nominations for 2026 Presidential Primaries

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially opened nominations for its 2026 presidential primaries, with the process set to close on August 28, 2025.

Interested aspirants are required to pay a non-refundable application fee of GHS100,000.

Announcing the move on Tuesday, July 29, NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong said the primaries will be held on January 31, 2026.

In a related development, the party has cautioned the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) against politicising the ongoing chieftaincy tensions in Bawku.

Frimpong criticised attempts to blame the NPP for the violence in the area ahead of the 2024 general elections, describing such claims as irresponsible.
