A keen contest and surprising outcomes are expected to characterize the weekend-long elections and not even the incumbent executives, most of whom are seeking re-election, can confidently say yet if their spots are fully secured.
And while there are many faces in the general contests that are not relatively new to these elections in the NPP, there have appeared quite a number of ‘fresh bloods.’
In a June 23, 2022, report, GhanaWeb detailed the full list of 47 candidates approved by the party to stand for the 10 available positions at the party’s national executive levels.
Along the way, there have however been some fallouts, withdrawals and other names who backed out of the race, days before the elections begin.
In the list below, GhanaWeb teases out the names of the persons whose faces would be showing on the ballot sheets for the first time this weekend when the ruling party elects its national executives.
