Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has secured the number one position on the ballot for the party’s National Chairmanship election scheduled for October 3, 2026.
Mr Boadu emerged first in the balloting conducted ahead of the NPP’s national executive elections.
Former Second Vice Chairman of the party, Sammy Crabbe, secured the second position on the ballot, while former National Chairman Paul Afoko picked the third slot.
Former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko will occupy the fourth position.
The balloting forms part of preparations for the October 3 national executive elections, which will see the NPP elect its new national officers.
The National Chairmanship race is expected to intensify in the coming weeks, with the four candidates set to step up their engagements with delegates ahead of the polls.
The contenders are expected to focus on party unity, grassroots mobilisation, internal cohesion and efforts to strengthen the party’s organisational structures.
The October 3 election will give NPP delegates the opportunity to elect a new National Chairman to lead the party into its next phase and future electoral contests.
