Some members and stakeholders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Tarkwa-Nsuaem have announced plans to stage a peaceful demonstration over what they describe as irregularities in the party’s internal electoral process.
According to a statement signed by Ampoful Adu Narkaah, the demonstration is scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2026.
The group accused some constituency executives and their agents of manipulating the process during the registration, nomination, vetting, and polling station elections.
They claimed several party members were unfairly excluded or disqualified despite guidelines introduced by the party to ensure transparency and fairness.
“The entire process within the constituency has been compromised,” the statement said.
The concerned members also alleged intimidation and unfair treatment during the exercise, adding that complaints submitted to the regional leadership of the party did not receive the expected attention.
According to them, the situation threatens unity within the constituency ahead of the 2028 general elections.
“As concerned members of the party, we believe that the NPP requires unity ahead of the 2028 general elections. However, unity cannot prevail amidst injustice, lack of transparency, intimidation, exclusion, and unfair treatment,” part of the statement read.
The group said the demonstration is intended to draw the attention of the national leadership and elders of the party to what they believe are persistent irregularities in the constituency.
Among their demands are the annulment of the polling station election process, an independent investigation into the conduct of the elections, and fresh elections supervised by the party’s National Elections Committee.
The demonstration is expected to begin at UBAS Junction in Tarkwa and end at the Tarkwa Market Circle at 7:30 am.
The group assured the public and security agencies that the protest would be peaceful and orderly.
