The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced comprehensive guidelines ahead of its 2025 National Annual Delegates Conference, scheduled for Saturday, 19th July 2025, at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
Addressing the media, Chairman of the National Planning Committee, Hon. Joseph Osei-Owusu, affirmed the party’s readiness and commitment to ensuring a peaceful, well-coordinated conference.
Access and Security
Delegates and officials will only be granted access upon presentation of valid accreditation. Security personnel have been instructed to remove any unauthorised individuals found on the grounds. Delegates are expected to remain within their designated zones to avoid disruptions, which will be handled firmly by security operatives.
Health and Safety
The Health and Safety Committee will enforce COVID-19 protocols. Ten medical stands—three outside and seven inside the stadium—will be manned by 50 volunteer medical personnel. An emergency medical team from the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) will be on standby, supported by the National Ambulance Service.
Accommodation, transportation, and feeding arrangements for delegates have also been finalised. Regional party executives will receive a detailed briefing on Monday, 14th July.
Enhanced Security Measures
The party’s internal security team, in collaboration with national security agencies, will ensure law and order. Security personnel will be deployed to hostels, kitchens, and rest areas, while the stadium’s inner perimeter will be restricted to authorised individuals. Each of the 16 regions will be assigned a dedicated gate to streamline access and enhance screening.
Any misconduct or security breach will attract swift legal action. Non-delegates are advised to follow proceedings remotely, as no special access will be granted without a formal invitation.
Ban on Campaign Materials
A total ban on campaign-related materials—including posters, flyers, T-shirts, and banners—will be enforced across Accra and the conference venue. Compliance teams will remove and destroy any such items. No campaign activity will be allowed before, during, or after the event.
Media Accreditation and Coverage
Media accreditation will be processed via a Google Form, with badges available from midday on Friday, 18th July. A designated media village will support press coverage, offering clean audio and video feeds with commentary in English and Twi.
Satellite uplinks will be provided for media houses outside Accra. All media setups must be completed 12 hours before the conference begins. A dedicated support desk will be available to assist media personnel.
The NPP has called on all stakeholders to cooperate fully to ensure a successful and incident-free conference.
