Investigations Into Super Delegates Election Incidents Ongoing- NPP
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says a comprehensive probe into all allegations surrounding their Super Delegates Conference held in August is currently ongoing.
The investigations, it said, are being conducted by the both Elections Committee and the Disciplinary Committee of the party.
“It is worthy to note that both the Elections Committee and the Disciplinary, Committee have initiated comprehensive investigations into all reported incidents of violations and infractions that are alleged to have occurred at various voting centers during the super delegates election which was held on Saturday, August 26. 2023,” a statement from the party signed by the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong said on Wednesday.
It further noted that the reports of the committees will be made readily available and persons who may be found culpable of any wrongdoing will be held accountable.
This statement was released in response to the resignation of Alan Kyerematen who pulled out of the flagbearership race on the basis that the results of the Super Delegates Conference were “manipulated” and “skewed” in the favour of a particular candidate.
The NPP undertook its Super Delegates Conference on Saturday, August 26, 2023, to trim down the number of presidential aspirants of the party from 10 to five.
The ten included Mahamudu Bawumia, Ken Agyapong, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, Owusu Afriyie Akoto, Boakye Agyarko, Francis Addai Nimoh, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, Joe Ghartey, Kwadwo Poku and Kofi Konadu Apraku.
Out of a total of 923 votes cast across all regions, Mahamudu Bawumia took the lead with 629 votes followed by Ken Agyapong with 132 then Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen with 95, Owusu Afriyie Akoto with 36 votes and Francis Addai-Nimoh with 9 votes.
