Read full articleis that there is heavy police presence, with more and more delegates from all the 16 regions of Ghana taking up their spots in the Stadium.

While the elections are yet to start, business is however booming for a lot of traders as they have set up around the entrances of the venue, with many others walking about with their products, most of which are NPP paraphernalia.

All 10 executive positions of the party are being contested for but eyes are mostly glued to who wins the Chairman and General Secretary positions in particular.

This is also because while the Chairman position will have a new face as the incumbent, Freddie Blay, is not in the race, John Boadu, the current General Secretary, is looking to re-affirm his spot in a re-election bid.

Over 6000 delegates are expected to cast their votes.

Below are some early photos of what it looks like at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, July 16, 2022, morning:
