The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Elections Committee has announced plans to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), also known as a Peace Pact, with the five presidential aspirants ahead of the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.
At a press conference in Accra on Thursday, the Committee’s Chairman, Joseph Osei-Owusu, highlighted the importance of fostering unity and transparency in the party’s electoral process.
He revealed that the Committee would provide the aspirants with a provisional voter register album on November 13, 2025, which would later be exhibited at voting centres across the country.
Mr Osei-Owusu outlined several measures to ensure a credible and inclusive process, including consultations with former Presidents, the Party’s Council of Elders, the Electoral Commission, and the Ghana Police Service. There will also be bi-weekly meetings with accredited representatives of the aspirants to address any concerns and maintain open communication channels.
The Committee Chairman, who is also a former Member of Parliament for Bekwai and a former First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, urged party members, stakeholders, and the media to exercise restraint and avoid spreading unverified information that could undermine confidence in the process.
He reaffirmed the Committee’s commitment to delivering a free, fair, and transparent primary election, stressing that the Peace Pact would demonstrate the aspirants’ pledge to uphold the integrity of the contest and maintain party unity.
The five contesting aspirants are Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei-Agyepong.
