Sorting and counting currently underway
Voting has officially closed in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries across constituencies nationwide, bringing to an end a keenly contested internal election to select the party’s flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
Sorting and counting of results has commenced at the various polling centres nationwide, with party supporters and observers keenly awaiting the outcome of the tightly contested primaries.
Five candidates are vying for the position: former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong; former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia; former Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum; former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr Bryan Acheampong; and former General Secretary of the party, Kwabena Agyapong.

As polls drew to a close, isolated incidents and varying turnout levels were reported across the country.
