NPP Opens Nominations for 2028 Presidential Primaries
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially opened nominations for its upcoming presidential primaries, ushering in what is expected to be a fiercely contested race to determine the party’s flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
In a statement released from the party’s headquarters, the NPP indicated that the nomination process is now open, inviting interested aspirants to pick up their forms and begin the journey toward leading one of Ghana’s major political parties into the next electoral battle.
According to the announcement, the cost of nomination forms has been pegged at GH₵100,000, while a final filing fee of GH₵500,000 must be paid by each aspirant before their application is considered valid.
Party insiders describe the 2028 presidential primaries as one of the most pivotal in the NPP’s recent history, as the party seeks to regain momentum and position itself strategically for electoral victory. With several high-profile personalities and emerging leaders rumored to be eyeing the top slot, the contest promises intense political activity in the coming months.
The process will involve scrutiny of submitted applications by the party’s vetting committee before candidates are cleared to contest in the primaries. The eventual winner will not only shape the NPP’s message and campaign for 2028 but also play a key role in redefining the party’s vision, priorities, and relationship with the Ghanaian electorate.
Political analysts suggest that the race could generate nationwide interest and possibly influence the broader national political discourse, given the NPP’s stature and influence.
As the nomination period begins, aspirants will be expected to demonstrate a unifying vision, leadership acumen, and the capacity to energize the party base while appealing to the wider electorate.
The NPP has called for decorum, unity, and healthy competition throughout the process, assuring stakeholders of a transparent, credible, and democratic selection process.
