The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has annulled the constituency executive elections conducted in three constituencies in the Ashanti Region, citing breaches of party directives, election regulations and, in some cases, existing court orders.
The decision, which takes immediate effect, was announced in a statement issued by the party on Wednesday, July 15, following a meeting of the National Steering Committee to review the conduct of the constituency executive elections held across the country over the weekend.
The affected constituencies are Bantama, Afigya Sekyere East and Adansi Asokwa.
According to the party, the elections in the three constituencies were conducted “in flagrant disregard of Party directives, the Rules and Regulations governing the 2026 Constituency Executive Elections, and, where applicable, subsisting court orders.”
As part of the decision, the National Steering Committee has summoned the Ashanti Regional Steering Committee to appear before it on Tuesday, July 21, to explain the circumstances surrounding the conduct of the elections in the affected constituencies.
The party also referred disputes relating to the Asante Akyem Central constituency election, together with all other unresolved constituency election issues, to the Electoral Affairs Committee of the National Council for advice and recommendations.
The NPP said the move forms part of efforts to protect the integrity of its internal electoral processes and ensure compliance with the party’s constitution and regulations.
“The Party wishes to assure all members that it remains firmly committed to upholding the rule of law, ensuring strict compliance with its Constitution and Regulations, and preserving the integrity, credibility, and transparency of its internal democratic processes,” the statement signed by the party’s Acting National Chairman Danquah Smith Buttey and General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, concluded.
