The New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Kwabena Agyepong, may be disqualified from the party’s upcoming presidential primaries slated for January 31, 2026, after reportedly failing to pay the mandatory development fee required as part of the nomination process.
According to party sources, the vetting committee, in its report submitted to the National Council and National Executive Committee on Tuesday, indicated that Mr. Agyepong had not met this key requirement. The party, however, is yet to issue an official statement on his status in the race.
Meanwhile, a party notice circulated to all aspirants — including Mr. Agyepong — indicates that balloting for positions on the ballot paper will take place on Friday, October 10.
Delegates of the NPP are expected to vote on January 31, 2026, to elect a flagbearer to lead the party into the 2028 general elections.
Five candidates have so far been cleared to campaign for the flagbearer slot:
