NPP deploys regional heavyweights to oversee polling station and electoral area polls
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially set its internal electoral machinery in motion with the deployment of a high-powered team of regional representatives to supervise the upcoming polling station and electoral area elections. In a memorandum issued from the party headquarters on Friday, 27th March 2026, the General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong released the comprehensive list of officials tasked with ensuring the integrity of the grassroots polls across all 16 regions. The deployment is aimed at decentralising oversight and ensuring that the foundational elections of the party are conducted with the highest degree of credibility.
Under the approved guidelines, the assigned regional representatives hold a three-fold mandate: Oversight, Committee Formation, and Enforcement. The list features several prominent party figures and government appointees assigned to key battlegrounds to manage the process. In the Greater Accra region, representatives include Elizabeth Kaakie Mann (Tema East), Felix Nii Annan La (Kpone Katamanso), and Archibold Cobbinah (Krowor). The Ashanti Region features Nana Ama Ampomah (Asokwa), Kennedy Kankam (Atwima Kwanwoma), and Dennis Kwakwa (Juaben). The Central Region includes Justina Marigold Assan (Gomoa Central) and Richard Takyi-Mensah (Upper Denkyira East North). Notable representatives in the Northern Region include Felicia Tetteh (Mion) and Mariam Iddrisu (Savelugu).
The general secretary emphasised that the national secretariat expects nothing short of "the highest standards of diligence, professionalism, discipline, and commitment" from the constituency executive committees. The directive serves as a clear warning that the party will not tolerate any actions that undermine the credibility of the process.
