The New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Executive Committee (NEC) has increased the workload of its polling station election committees as part of preparations for upcoming internal elections.
Under the new arrangement, each committee will now supervise 25 polling stations, up from the previous 10, in a move aimed at streamlining the process and reducing the number of committees.
Speaking after an emergency NEC meeting, Director of Communications Richard Ahiagbah described the change as a minor adjustment to improve efficiency.
He explained that the decision followed feedback on earlier guidelines and is intended to simplify election management at the grassroots level.
Mr. Ahiagbah also confirmed that the NEC has maintained its earlier directive barring members who registered online but failed to validate their details at polling stations from participating in the elections.
He stressed that the timelines for the exercise have closed, ruling out any extension, but noted that discussions are ongoing on possible measures, including a register exhibition, to address concerns around integrating online and physical records.
