An NPP delegate, identified as Eric Abbey, has revealed he has received money from the camps of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Ken Agyapong and Bryan Acheampong.

The NPP delegates highlighted that someone wanted to run away with Bryan Acheampong’s money, but they have all now received it.

He, however, declined to reveal the amount he received from each camp.

Speaking to the media,  the NPP delegate identified as Eric Abbey stated, “Everything is going on well, no conflict has occurred, Bryan’s money somebody wanted to run away with it, but they have brought it back, and everyone has received theirs, so when we get to the box we will decide who to vote for.

When asked about the amount he receive he declines to answer, saying, “ I cannot mention the amount. When they brought it, they said lorry fare. I have gotten Bryan, Kennedy and Bawumia. I have received from all three”.   

Meanwhile, some Delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Dome Kwabenya Constituency, as early as 11:00 PM on Friday, were already queued at the Dome Kwabenya Football Park.

The NPP presidential primaries officially commence at 7:00 AM today, but the NPP delegates were queued about eight hours ahead of time.

Despite the cold night breeze, the NPP delegates stayed overnight to vote for their preferred candidate.

One delegate speaking to the media stated, “I came around 11 PM. We are determined to select a candidate who can lead us to victory in 2028”.

211,849 registered NPP delegates across 16 regions of the country are voting in the keenly anticipated NPP presidential primaries.

NPP delegates from all 16 regions, and all 275 constituencies, grassroots organisers, constituency executives, and Members of Parliament are expected to vote.

Over 900 voting centres have been set up for the exercise, with voting ending at  3:00 PM, after which counting will commence immediately.

Also, a central collation centre has been established in Accra, where all certified results from each of the 275 constituencies will be transmitted for final certification and declaration.

The former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Abetifi MP, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Bosomtwe MP, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and former NPP General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong, are the five contesting to become the NPP flagbearer for the 2028 election.

Also, Isaac Baah Boamah, a member of the NPP Presidential Election Committee, has said no mobile phones is allow at inner polling zones.

Speaking on Citi News on Friday, January 30, Isaac Baah Boamah stated, “The electoral officials, per the guidelines, have been told that it is a walk-in exercise. The areas will be demarcated into three sections: the outer section, the middle section, and the inner section. The outer section is where the electoral officials will identify you using your ID card for this exercise.

“We have approved four forms of identification; any one of them will be a permissible voter’s ID, party ID, national passport, or Ghana card. Any delegate without an ID cannot cast a ballot,” he explained.

“I urge every delegate to go and look for their ID card before they come to vote. When you enter the inner circle, you are not supposed to go in with any foreign material, including mobile phones,” he said.
