The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has cautioned members to desist from canvassing for votes or support before official processes are announced for internal elections.

A statement issued by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, said, "The party leadership wishes to bring to the attention of all members and prospective aspirants at various levels that, until official nominations are duly opened, no individual is permitted to engage party executives or party structures in any form of campaigning or soliciting support for internal positions."

The release explained that the directive was in line with the NPP's commitment to fairness in the administration of its internal electoral processes.

"Premature engagements not only undermine the authority of the party's organs but also risk disrupting the careful and strategic efforts currently underway to reposition the party for victory in the 2028 general elections," the party stressed.

"We therefore urge all members, supporters, and stakeholders to fully cooperate with this directive and refrain from any activities that could compromise party unity or the integrity of our processes. Let us remain focused and supportive of the internal reforms and efforts being spearheaded by the leadership to build a more formidable and cohesive party," the statement added.

"The Party remains committed to transparency, inclusiveness, fairness and due process, and it will provide timely updates on all relevant timelines and guidelines when nominations are officially opened. Thank you in anticipation of your unwavering support and cooperation".
