Super delegates of the National Patriotic Party (NPP) would not be permitted to vote at the upcoming conference if they fail to pay their dues.

This is according to the National Treasurer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Charles Dwamena who backs his statement with Article (34)b of the party's constitution.

In an engagement with the media, Dr. Charles, indicated that there are preparations underway to ensure the upcoming Super Delegates Conference set to take place on Saturday, August 26, 2023 is peacefully.

However, he sends a reminder to members who have not redeemed payment of their monthly pledge to clear all their arears, so they can be allowed to exercise their franchise.

"There are some super delegates who have not yet paid their dues. If you have not paid your dues, I am reminding you through this platform because it is a requirement by law. I am sure they have forgotten, hence, this comes as a reminder," he expressed.

The NPP treasurer clarified that all delegates own the right to vote according to the party's constitution, but the same constitution according to article 34b qualifies a member in good standing to vote when they pay their dues.

"If you don't pay your dues, there are are several roles you cannot play in the party including exercising your franchise," Mr. Dwamena added.

He also appealed to all those preparing to vote in the upcoming primaries in November to pay attention and adhere to same directive.

NPP will on August 26, 2023, hold a special delegates conference to select five candidates out of the Ten (10) to contest the November 4, 2023 presidential primary.

The elections would be held in all 16 regions across the country after the National Council of the Party (NPP) unanimously dismissed a petition by nine aspirants asking for the party’s Special Delegates Conference to be at a centralized venue.
