The New Patriotic Party (NPP) of Ghana has announced the requirements for delegates to participate in its upcoming national conference scheduled for October 3, 2026. According to a notice issued by the National Officers Elections Committee (NOEC) on September 30, 2026, delegates must have their names on the official delegates' register and present a valid identification document for verification. The accepted identification documents include the Ghana Card, Voter ID card, and NPP party card.
The NPP national conference will be conducted in two phases, starting with a session to consider proposed amendments to the party's constitution, followed by the election of national officers. The constitutional amendment session is set to begin at 9:00 a.m., while voting for national officers will commence at 12:00 p.m. The party has urged all delegates to adhere to the programme and arrive early to ensure a smooth process.
The election will be supervised by the Electoral Commission (EC) and will take place at 31 polling stations. Delegates will elect national officers to nine positions, including National Youth Organiser, National Nasara Organiser, National Treasurer, and National Communications Director. The EC will verify the identity of each delegate before allowing them to vote.
