NPP to hold presidential primaries on January 31, 2026

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Justin Frimpong Koduah has confirmed that the party will hold its presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.

This is after the National Council adopted a proposal from the constitution review committee.

However, Justin Frimpong Koduah clarified that the timing of the presidential primaries will not be subject to approval by the delegates conference, as the National Council has already exercised its mandate to approve it.

“The date for our presidential primaries is set for January 31, 2026. That will be the date that we shall hold our presidential primaries. Because there is going to be a proposal or motion for amendment of our constitution, a planning committee has been put in place,” he said.

Meanwhile, a nine-member committee chaired by former Bekwai MP, Joseph Osei Owusu has been selected to plan the July 2025 national delegates conference to adopt other recommendations for the amendment of the party’s constitution.
