Justin Kodua Orders NPP Aspirants Stop Premature Campaigning Now

The New Patriotic Party has ordered all prospective parliamentary aspirants to immediately cease all premature campaign activities or risk disciplinary action and disqualification. The directive was issued in a press statement dated 11th October 2026 and signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong. The party said it had received numerous complaints from across constituencies about early campaigns.

According to the statement, some members aspiring to contest parliamentary primaries ahead of the 2028 elections have already begun mounting posters, billboards, banners and other branded materials in various constituencies. Others are organizing rallies, meetings with polling station executives and constituency tours to solicit support. The NPP described these activities as a clear violation of its regulations and Code of Conduct.

The party warned that premature campaigning creates an uneven playing field, undermines unity and discipline, and distracts from ongoing reorganization after the 2024 general elections defeat. The statement, which has been monitored on Pulse Ghana, Adomonline and MyJoyOnline, expressly prohibits distribution of items or inducements to delegates, paid media advertisements and social media promotions intended to market aspirants before the official timetable.

Justin Kodua Frimpong also cautioned all party officers from polling station, electoral area, constituency, regional and national levels, including TESCON structures, against promoting any parliamentary aspirant on Facebook, X, Instagram or other platforms. Officers are barred from facilitating or enabling such early campaigns. The directive comes days after Dr Mahamudu Bawumia announced a nationwide search for parliamentary candidates to improve NPP’s chances in 2028.

The NPP said anyone who fails to comply will be dealt with in accordance with the party’s disciplinary procedures, which may affect their eligibility to contest the upcoming parliamentary primaries. Constituency and regional executives have been tasked to ensure strict compliance within their jurisdictions and report violations to the national secretariat. The party emphasized that internal contests must never become permanent wars.

The timetable and guidelines for the parliamentary selection process will be announced in due course, the statement added. For now, all prospective aspirants, their agents and supporters are directed to wait. The order follows Justin Kodua Frimpong’s re-election as General Secretary on 3rd October 2026 at Baba Yara Stadium with 4,486 votes, where he pledged early primaries and stronger grassroots structures.
