National Security Operatives Unwelcomed- NPP on Saturday’s Primary

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated that it will not require the services of National Security Operatives at its voting centre, collation point, or any activity connected to the conduct of the upcoming Presidential Primary.

In a statement, the National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, affirmed that the Ghana Police Service is the only designated security institution to provide security for the scheduled event on Saturday, January 31, 2026.

He thus emphasised that the party unwelcomes the presence, deployment, or activities of any non-uniformed, plain-clothed, or otherwise unauthorised security personnel deployed by National Security or any other institution.

“We have information that some elements within the National Security have plans to deploy unauthorised operatives,” he disclosed.

He warned that any attempt by National Security or any other unauthorised body to deploy operatives to the election will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful intrusion into the internal democratic processes of the Party, with the clear potential to disrupt or manipulate the election.

“The NPP will not hesitate to invoke all lawful remedies available to it to protect the integrity of this process. Any unauthorised presence will be challenged and resisted within the bounds of the law.”

Nana B, while expressing confidence in the Ghana Police Service, said he expected the security agency to enforce this directive strictly and without compromise.

“The Police must ensure that only duly authorised and identifiable police officers are deployed throughout the exercise, in accordance with the assurances given.”
