NPP Revokes Voting Rights of Forfeited Members Ahead of 2026 Presidential Primaries
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that forfeited members will lose their voting rights until they complete the required procedures for reinstatement. This decision was made by the party’s Presidential Election Committee, chaired by Joseph Osei Owusu, former Bekwai MP.
According to Osei Owusu, members who forfeited their party membership and later rejoined will be treated as new entrants, without voting rights or the ability to reclaim previous positions. “You lose membership when you contest against a party candidate or when you campaign for a candidate other than the party’s candidate. It is automatic,” he explained.
The Committee plans to present the voter album to the candidates on November 13, 2025, and is confident in its readiness for the party’s presidential primaries, scheduled for January 2026.
Presidential Aspirants
The five candidates vying for the NPP’s presidential slot are:
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia: Former Vice President
Kwabena Agyei Agyepong: Former General Secretary
Dr. Bryan Acheampong: Former Agriculture Minister and Abetifi MP
Kennedy Agyapong: Former Assin Central MP
Osei Adutwum: Former Education Minister
Osei Owusu has called for clean campaign among the presidential aspirants and their followers, emphasizing the importance of maintaining party unity ahead of the 2028 general elections.
