Tension is reportedly brewing within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai constituency after local executives formally petitioned regional leadership to annul the recently held electoral area election.
The aggrieved party executives claim that the process was marred by alleged irregularities, prompting concerns about fairness, transparency, and compliance with internal party rules. Their petition has now placed the outcome of the contest under intense scrutiny.
According to sources within the constituency, the executives are demanding that the entire election be set aside and a fresh exercise conducted to restore confidence among delegates and party members.
The controversy has sparked heightened political tension in the area, with supporters on different sides trading accusations over how the election was conducted and whether proper procedures were followed.
The matter has now been escalated to the regional leadership of the NPP, who are expected to review the petition and determine the next course of action. Their decision is likely to have significant implications for party unity in the area ahead of future internal contests.
Political observers say the situation reflects broader internal pressures within the party as local structures continue to navigate issues of credibility, competition, and organizational discipline.
For now, attention remains fixed on the regional leadership’s response, which will determine whether the disputed election stands—or is annulled and rerun under closer supervision in Ghana’s political landscape.
