The campaign team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairmanship aspirant Boakye Agyarko has expressed concerns over reports of alleged alterations to the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) members' voter register. In a letter dated September 22, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of the NPP National Elections Committee, the team stated that any manipulation of the electoral album could undermine confidence in the internal election. The team called for the process to be conducted in accordance with the party's guidelines and constitution.
According to the campaign team, there are reports of unauthorised adjustments, deletions, and possible additions to the TESCON voter register. The team said it would reject any attempt to manipulate the electoral album to favour specific interests. The letter stated that the Boakye Agyarko Campaign Team wishes to state unequivocally that they shall reject any attempt, scheme, or maneuver by any entity to manipulate the electoral album.
The campaign team is asking the National Elections Committee to immediately halt any ongoing revisions or unilateral updates to the TESCON membership list that are not based on agreed party guidelines. They also called for the publication of what they described as the authentic and verified electoral album to allow candidates and other stakeholders to scrutinise the list. This would ensure that only qualified TESCON members participate in the election.
The team warned that it would vehemently resist and protest any attempts to manipulate the electoral process or undermine the democratic mandate of party members. They urged the National Elections Committee to act swiftly to address the concerns and safeguard the peace, unity, and internal democratic traditions of the NPP. Boakye Agyarko is one of four candidates contesting the NPP National Chairmanship position in the October 3 elections.
Boakye Agyarko occupies the fourth position on the ballot paper, following John Boadu, Sammy Crabbe, and Paul Afoko. The NPP National Chairmanship position is a key role in the party, and the election is expected to be closely contested. The campaign team's concerns over the TESCON voter register have raised questions about the integrity of the electoral process.
The NPP's internal election is scheduled to take place on October 3, 2026. The party's National Elections Committee is responsible for ensuring that the election is conducted in a free and fair manner. The committee's response to the campaign team's concerns will be crucial in determining the credibility of the election.
The concerns raised by Boakye Agyarko's campaign team are significant, as they highlight the need for transparency and accountability in the electoral process. The team's call for the publication of the authentic and verified electoral album is a key step in ensuring that the election is conducted fairly and that all stakeholders have confidence in the process.
