The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called off its September 2, 2023, run-off election scheduled to break the tie between two flagbearer hopefuls Mr. Francis Addai-Nimoh and Mr. Boakye Kyremanteng Agyarko.
This follows the withdrawal of Mr. Agyarko from the race.
Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, Chairman of the NPP’s Presidential Elections Committee, stated in a letter: “We take notice of your decision to withdraw from the contest, and therefore the run-off election scheduled for Saturday, September 2, 2023, will no longer come on.”
The run-off was being organised to break the tie between Mr Agyarko and Mr Addai-Nimoh and decide who would join the four aspirants in the party’s November 4 presidential primary.
Boakye Agyarko refrained from the run-off after accusing the party of breaching provisions of their constitution.
