The campaign team of Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer aspirant in the New Patriotic Party’s 2028 presidential race, has issued a security alert, raising concerns over the transportation of ballot papers ahead of the party’s internal elections.
In a statement released by the campaign’s Security and Intelligence desk, the team said intelligence gathered from its operatives on the ground indicates that the Electoral Commission (EC) may be facing logistical challenges, particularly a shortage of vehicles required to transport ballot papers to all 276 constituencies nationwide.
According to the statement, the EC has resorted to the use of private vehicles approved with EC stickers, accompanied by EC officials and escorted by the Ghana Police Service. However, the campaign claims there have been isolated incidents in the Ashanti, Western, and Greater Accra regions where ballot papers were allegedly moved without the use of approved vehicles.
The campaign has therefore called for heightened vigilance by both the Ghana Police Service and the Electoral Commission, urging the relevant authorities to put in place the necessary measures to safeguard the integrity of the process and ensure a free, fair, and credible election.
The statement also raised concerns about the circulation of old video footage from the NPP’s 2023 presidential primaries, warning that such content could be used to inflame tensions or create disaffection against candidates. The campaign strongly cautioned against any form of intimidation or misinformation and appealed to all stakeholders to refrain from sharing such materials.
Describing the election as an internal democratic exercise of the New Patriotic Party, the Kennedy Agyapong camp stressed that delegates must be allowed to make their choices freely, without fear, pressure, or interference.
The campaign further assured the public that its security monitoring remains active nationwide, reiterating its commitment to a peaceful, transparent, and credible electoral process.
The statement was issued on behalf of the campaign’s Security Coordinator, Colonel Serebour, and signed by Dr Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, Spokesperson for Security and Intelligence.
