The center has been barricaded, with police officers conducting checks on all persons entering the premises.

During an interaction with Citi News, some of the delegates expressed hope for the election of a Presidential Candidate with the potential to foster unity among party members and improve the living conditions of the citizenry.

Bimbilla

The NPP presidential primary is also ongoing in the Bimbilla constituency where delegates were accommodated at the constituency chairman’s house before moving to the voting center.
