The New Patriotic Party (NPP) of Ghana has addressed concerns raised by aspirants over its delegates' register ahead of the October 3 national officers' elections. According to the party's National Officers Elections Committee (NOEC), the concerns were reviewed and addressed through an engagement process with contestants. This process allowed aspirants to flag names and details they believed were inaccurate or required further verification.
The NOEC engaged contestants as part of the validation process, checking concerns against source records submitted by regions and institutions. The committee does not independently generate delegates' lists; instead, it receives albums from regions and institutions and compiles them into the register for the elections. NOEC Chairman Frederick Opare Ansah stated that concerns raised by aspirants were taken seriously and subjected to necessary checks.

The committee received relevant albums from regions and institutions and compiled them into the register to be used for the elections.
