'Be alert' - Ken Agyapong team urges EC, police over security concerns over ballot transport ahead of NPP primary
The campaign team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has issued a security alert ahead of the party’s 2026 presidential primary, urging heightened vigilance to safeguard the credibility of the internal election.
In a statement dated Friday, January 30, 2026, the camp said intelligence gathered from its operatives suggests that the Electoral Commission (EC) faces logistical constraints, particularly an insufficient number of vehicles to transport ballot papers to all 276 constituencies nationwide.
According to the team, the EC has resorted to using privately sourced vehicles approved with official EC stickers and accompanied by EC personnel under police escort to distribute election materials. However, the camp alleged that isolated incidents had been observed in parts of the Ashanti, Western and Greater Accra regions where ballot papers were being transported without the approved vehicles.
The Agyapong camp called on both the Ghana Police Service and the Electoral Commission to exercise “extreme vigilance” and ensure that adequate safeguards are implemented to guarantee a free and fair process.
The team also expressed concern about the circulation of old videos from the party’s 2023 presidential primaries, warning that such content could create disaffection among candidates and supporters. It cautioned against what it described as intimidation tactics and urged stakeholders to refrain from sharing materials that could heighten tensions.
Describing the primary as an internal democratic exercise, the camp stressed that delegates must be allowed to vote freely without interference or pressure.
It further assured the public that its intelligence and monitoring operations remain active across the country and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and fairness throughout the electoral process.
The statement was issued on behalf of the campaign’s Security Coordinator, Col Serebour, and signed by Dr Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, Spokesperson for Security and Intelligence.
