The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced a strict ban on all campaign-related materials ahead of its 2025 National Annual Delegates Conference, slated for Saturday, 19 July, at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.

The directive, issued by Joseph Osei-Owusu, Chairman of the National Planning Committee, forms part of measures to maintain order, neutrality, and focus during the highly anticipated event, which is expected to attract thousands of party delegates from across the country.

“There shall be no billboards, banners, posters, flyers, T-shirts, or souvenirs with aspirant branding allowed at the venue or within Accra,” Mr Osei-Owusu stated during a press briefing on Saturday, 12 July.

He further explained that a “complete ban has been placed on all forms of campaign activities.” This prohibition applies before, during, and after the conference and covers the entire precinct of the conference venue.

To ensure compliance, the party has established a dedicated grounds and operations team, supported by compliance monitors tasked with patrolling the conference grounds and surrounding areas.

“All such prohibited campaign materials shall be removed and destroyed by the team,” Mr Osei-Owusu warned, emphasising that there would be no exceptions to the rule.

The move is aimed at fostering a level playing field and keeping the focus on party unity and strategic decision-making during the conference.
