The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially opened nominations for party members interested in contesting as presidential candidates in the 2028 general elections.
Announcing the move at a press briefing in Accra on Monday, the party’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, said the nomination window begins today, July 29, 2025, and will close on Thursday, August 28, 2025.
“I’m happy to announce to you that we have officially opened nominations for our party members to become presidential candidates of our party for the 2028 elections,” Mr Kodua said.
