National Executive Committee (NEC) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has appointed members of party’s National Elections Committee ahead of its presidential primary.
The party has set October 18 to choose a flagbearer for the 2016 national presidential election.
The committee is charged with formulating guidelines, conducting and spearheading the October 18 primary.
The committee is chaired by Alhaji Bin Salih, O.B. Amoah serves as its Vice Chairman.
O.B. Amoah told Joy News Francis Abban all electoral processes will be implemented to ensure a successful presidential primary next month.
“That will entail getting the registers ready – that is the latest albums for the 275 constituencies and those in the diaspora”, he said.
He said an injunction placed on the primary should not affect the committee’s work.
Two party members Oppong Kyekyeku and Rexford Agyei Frimpong are praying an Accra Fast Track High court compels the party’s National Council to fix a new date for its conference to elect the candidate.
According to the two plaintiffs, that date is not appropriate to enable the three candidates - Nana Akufo-Addo, Francis Addai Nimoh and Alan Kyerematen - to reach all 140,000 delegates with their campaigns.
Ruling on the case will be given on October 3.
