National executive elections are held by the NPP.
Over 6000 NPP delegates are expected to vote at Accra Sports Stadium.
Delegates Conference is an annual requirement.
The Majority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has explained why the New Patriotic Party went ahead with its National Delegates Conference despite calls to halt the process due to the country's economic difficulties.
One such critic of the ruling party is Sam Nartey George, Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prapram, who claims that several aspirants are doling out large sums of money to the over 6000 delegates expected to vote at the Accra Sports Stadium in an attempt to entice them to vote for them.
“The conference should have started at 9 am; we were given 9 am but it’s past 12. The delegates are hold up, meeting with candidates who are giving them monies, 3 hours we’ve been sitting here. For a party that has dragged this country into a mess, you will ask yourself where are they getting the monies?” he claimed.
Asked by the media his take on the statements by critics, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu the election is a necessity embedded in the party's constitution.
"It's an obligation on the part of the constitution of the party. The annual delegates conference of the party is annual and the time is due," he said.
Some leading members of the NPP are at the Sports Stadium to witness and monitor the party's National Executive Elections.
This election is described as a crucial one especially since the party looks to “Break the 8” in the political history of the country.
The party approved the nominations of 47 candidates for various positions in June 2022, including National Chairman, 1st and 2nd Vice Chairperson, General, and National Organiser.
The National Youth Organiser, National Treasurer, Women's Organiser, and National Nasara Coordinator are the other positions.
However, a number of the competitors voluntarily dropped out of the race along the way.
