Tension is mounting within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Mfantseman Constituency of the Central Region as 500 delegates have accused the current constituency executives of unlawfully deleting their names from the party’s delegates album ahead of the constituency elections.
The aggrieved delegates say the alleged removal of their names is a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise them and influence the outcome of the upcoming internal elections.
Addressing journalists at a press conference held at the party’s constituency office at Kormentse on Monday, July 20, 2026, Mr. Kwesi Boakye-Yiadom, Polling Station Chairman for the Yamoransa Zone, described the alleged action as an act of “punishment, victimisation and greed” by the current constituency leadership.
According to him, the matter has once again been taken to court, with legal proceedings expected to commence by the close of business on Monday.
Also speaking at the press conference, Mr. Francis Mensah, Secretary for the Eduma Market Shed Polling Station in the Yanmonasah Zone, reiterated concerns over the alleged deletion of delegates’ names from the constituency’s election album.
He maintained that the affected delegates were duly qualified and had every right to participate in the forthcoming constituency elections, insisting that their exclusion undermines the democratic principles of the party.
Several other delegates who addressed the media called on the constituency executives to immediately restore all deleted names to the delegates album. They warned that failure to do so could jeopardise the credibility and peaceful conduct of the constituency elections.
The group stressed that they are seeking fairness, transparency and justice, urging the party’s regional and national leadership to intervene before the situation escalates further.
The delegates further cautioned that if their grievances are not addressed and the names remain excluded from the album, the scheduled Mfantseman NPP constituency elections should not be allowed to proceed until the matter is resolved.
