NPP polls: Oppong-Nkrumah posters being destroyed

Campaign posters of ace broadcaster Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah are being destroyed by some youth in the Ofoase-Ayirebi constituency in the Eastern region, where he is contesting in the parliamentary primaries of the opposition NPP.

It is unclear who is behind the action.

The youth are seen, in photos obtained by Starr News, marking out posters of Mr Oppong-Nkrumah among other candidates, and destroying them.

The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) goes to the polls today to elect parliamentary candidates for the 2016 elections.

Today's polls opened at 8am and will close at 3pm.

The party said “only the Registers used for the last 18th October Presidential Primaries shall be used for this election” and that at constituencies where only one candidate filed at the close of nomination, the candidate is deemed to have been duly elected unopposed.

“The New Patriotic Party calls on all delegates, aspirants and members to conduct themselves in the spirit of party unity at the various polling centres.”
