Read the notice of poll below:
According to its constitution, the NPP will reduce its list of potential presidential candidates from ten to five on August 26.
The NPP claims to be creating a fresh register in the meantime for its special delegates’ congress on August 26.
The party claims that a fresh registration will be required because some of the delegates have already passed away.
A fresh register would be available by the end of the week, according to Justin Kodua Frimpong Koduah, general secretary of the party.
“We are in the final stage of doing the compilation. Basically, we are not going to exceed 1000 so between 900 and 1000 delegates will form the special electoral college.”
