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.
Delegates and officials will be granted access only 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 dealt with decisively by security operatives.
Health and safety
The Health and Safety Committee will ensure strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols. Ten medical stands—three outside and seven within the stadium—will be manned by 50 volunteer medical personnel. An emergency medical team from the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) will also be on standby, supported by the National Ambulance Service.
Also, accommodation, transportation, and feeding arrangements for delegates have been finalised. Regional party executives will be briefed in detail on Monday, 14th July.
Security measures
The party’s internal security team will collaborate with national security agencies to ensure law and order. Security officers will be deployed at hostels, kitchens, and rest areas, with the stadium’s inner perimeter restricted to authorised personnel only. Each of the 16 regions will be assigned a dedicated gate to streamline access and enhance security screening.
All incidents of misconduct or security breaches will be met with swift legal action. Non-delegates are advised to follow the conference 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 venue. Compliance teams will remove and destroy any such materials. No campaign activity will be permitted before, during, or after the event.
Media accreditation and coverage
Media accreditation will be granted through a Google Form, with badges available from midday on Friday, 18th July. A designated media village will facilitate press coverage, with clean audio and video feeds provided, including commentary in English and Twi.
Satellite uplinks will be available for media houses outside Accra. All media setups must be completed 12 hours before the conference begins. A dedicated support desk will be operational to handle media enquiries.
The NPP has called on all stakeholders to cooperate fully to ensure a successful and incident-free conference.
