The New Patriotic Party (NPP), has warned its delegates ahead of the parliamentary primaries scheduled for Saturday, January 27.
The party's General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, cautioned delegates against showing their votes during the voting process.
He emphasised that violators of this directive would face arrest by the police, and any vote revealed would be considered null and void.
Mr. Kodua Frimpong, in an interview with Asempa FM on Thursday, January 25, highlighted the party's commitment to ensuring a free and fair election without any intimidation.
"Anyone who shows his or her ballot will be arrested. His or her vote will not be accepted. It is against our party’s electoral rules. A vote is supposed to be secret. No one will also be allowed to take a photo of his vote. Nobody will be allowed to enter the poll booth with their phones," he said.
Justin Kodua Frimpong also announced that the Ghana Police Service will assume full responsibility for security arrangements during the party's parliamentary primaries scheduled for Saturday, January 27.
He stressed that no private security personnel or machinery would be permitted at the election grounds, and anyone violating this directive would face consequences from the police.
Mr Kodua stressed that adhering to this directive should not be challenging for party members if they prioritise the party's interests.
"We have handed over everything about the security of the elections to the Ghana Police Service. Anyone who attempts to disturb the elections will be dealt with by the police."
"There will be no private security or macho men. No aspirant has the power to bring any private security personnel to the election grounds," he said.
He also insisted that the party's national leadership has maintained a fair approach to all aspirants participating in the primaries.
