NPP sets January 31, 2026 for presidential Primary

The official date of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary is Saturday, January 31, 2026.

The decision was made on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, during a pivotal meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).

Justin Frimpong Kodua, the party’s general secretary, made this announcement, laying the groundwork for a fierce race to choose the party’s nominee for the general elections in 2028.

“The Committee also spoke about the time for our presidential primaries. And again, the Committee agrees that that decision does not warrant amendment of our Constitution. And the National Council today also made the decision that the date for our presidential primaries is set for January 31, 2026. That will be the date that we shall hold our presidential primaries.

With growing anticipation within the party’s rank and file, the primary is expected to attract significant interest from both longstanding members and new contenders seeking to lead the NPP into the next electoral cycle.

Party officials have indicated that nomination guidelines, timelines for campaign activities, and the code of conduct for aspirants will be released in the coming weeks.

The NEC has assured party members of a transparent and credible process that upholds the democratic values of the NPP.
