Confusion is brewing within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Mfantseman Constituency, as more than 180 polling station coordinators have announced plans to seek an injunction to halt the upcoming constituency executive elections.

The aggrieved coordinators are protesting the decision to use the residence of the incumbent Constituency Chairman, who is also contesting the election, as the polling centre. They have also raised concerns over delays in the release of the party’s electoral album.

Addressing a press conference at the NPP constituency office in Mankessim, the leader of the aggrieved coordinators, Eric Kwesi Baffoe, described the choice of venue as unfair and inappropriate, arguing that it could undermine the credibility of the electoral process.

According to him, the constituency has several neutral and accessible venues that could host the elections, and questioned why the private residence of a candidate would be selected as the voting centre.

He argued that the decision could create an uneven playing field and raise doubts about the fairness and transparency of the exercise.

Mr. Baffoe also expressed concern that the constituency elections, scheduled for Sunday, July 12, 2026, were approaching without delegates receiving the certified electoral album.

He alleged that several polling station coordinators had reported missing names and discrepancies in the provisional register, making it difficult for delegates to verify their eligibility ahead of the polls.

The coordinators have threatened to boycott the elections unless the venue is changed to a neutral location and the complete delegates’ album is released and audited to ensure transparency.

Some of the aggrieved coordinators also accused the current constituency executives of taking decisions that could deepen divisions within the party ahead of the elections.

They maintained that holding the polls at the residence of a candidate was unacceptable and inconsistent with the principles of fairness and internal party democracy.

The group warned that they would resist any attempt to proceed with the elections under the current arrangements and called for an independent audit of the delegates’ album to restore confidence in the process.

They are appealing to the National Executive Committee of the NPP to intervene by changing the venue, releasing the verified electoral album, and ensuring that the elections are conducted in a free, fair, and transparent manner.

The coordinators cautioned that failure to address their concerns could create tension and disrupt the peaceful conduct of the constituency elections.
