The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has annulled the Constituency Executive Elections conducted in three constituencies, citing what it describes as serious breaches of party directives, electoral regulations, and, in some cases, existing court orders.
In a statement issued on July 15, 2026, the party said the decision was taken by its National Steering Committee following a review of the Constituency Executive Elections held across the country over the weekend.
The affected constituencies are Bantama, Afigya Sekyere East, and Adansi Asokwa.
According to the party, the elections in these constituencies were conducted in flagrant disregard of the NPP’s directives, the rules and regulations governing the 2026 Constituency Executive Elections, and, where applicable, subsisting court orders.
The National Steering Committee has also summoned the Ashanti Regional Steering Committee to appear before it on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, to explain the circumstances surrounding the conduct of the elections in the affected constituencies.
In addition, the party has referred the electoral issues arising from Asante Akyem Central, together with all other unresolved constituency election disputes, to the Electoral Affairs Committee of the National Council for advice and recommendations.
The NPP reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring strict adherence to the party’s Constitution and electoral regulations.
The party further assured its members that it remains committed to protecting the integrity, credibility, and transparency of its internal democratic processes.
