He was quickly attended to by the electoral officer and a police who was there to ensure a serene electoral environment.

The primaries in various constituencies were organized by the NPP to elect constituency executives for the 275 constituencies across the nation.

Positions contested for include Chairperson, 1st Vice Chairperson, 2nd Vice Chairperson, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, Organizer, Women Organizer, Nasara Coordinator.

Nasara Coordinator is the NPP’s wing specially created to reach out to the Muslim community especially those in the Zongos.
