At the meeting held on Monday, October 9, 2023, the police also “pledged their commitment to providing adequate security, resources, and intelligence to ensure law and order during the entire period”.

The governing NPP will be holding their Presidential Primary to elect a flagbearer for the 2024 General Elections.

The Party’s November 4 final presidential primary will be contested by Mahamudu Bawumia, Ken Agyapong, Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai Nimoh.

The election was supposed to have five candidates following their Super Delegates Conference which trimmed the number of aspirants from ten, however, one aspirant, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen withdrew in September over concerns of intimidation and manipulation of election results and subsequently forfeited his membership as an NPP member.
