The main opposition party, the NPP, is holding presidential primaries to elect a new flagbearer for the 2028 elections.
The party's internal election comes over a year after they abysmally lost the 2024 general elections to the current ruling party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, who served as the vice president to former president Nana Akufo-Addo from 2017 to 2025, is seeking a second chance to lead the party in the next elections.
The former vice president previously contested the 2024 elections but lost to John Mahama.
He faces fierce competition from former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, Abetifi MP Dr Bryan Acheampong, Bosomtwe MP Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong, who are also looking to lead the party in the 2028 elections.
Delegates clash with Bryan Acheampong's coordinators
In a video shared by blogger Outta Ghana on Saturday, January 31, 2026, a group of NPP delegates expressed disappointment with the coordinators of Dr Bryan Acheampong at one of the polling stations in the Tema East constituency.
In the video, the angry delegates were seen accusing the coordinators of keeping money intended for them as transportation fees.
Some delegates hurled insults and specifically mentioned the names of Bryan Acheampong's coordinators, especially the women's organiser, who had allegedly refused to provide them with money for transportation before voting.
Many also threatened to vote against the Member of Parliament (MP) of the Abetifi constituency in Tema East in the presidential primaries over the conduct of his political associates.

Kennedy Agyapong's agent clashes with research officer
Voting in the 2026 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries in the Akan constituency in the Volta Region was nearly marred as Kennedy Agyapong's agent clashed with a research officer at a polling station.
According to Joy News, the agent was not comfortable with how close the research officer was seated to the election officials and even alleged that he was interfering in the voting process.
His complaint led to an altercation between the two, which required the intervention of police officers on duty to arrest the situation from escalating into a full-blown fight.

In a video, about ten police officers and other onlookers were seen separating the angry men.
The confusion disrupted the voting queue, and some delegates were heard complaining in the background. It is not yet known if the agent's concerns were resolved after the altercation.
