The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rubbished reports that its decision to organize parliamentary primaries in April, a few months to the December 2020 elections, will affect their fortunes.

Mr Nimako stressed: “What I am telling you is that the New Patriotic Party will put in place enough mechanism to ensure we go into the 2020 elections very prepared…It is all about how the party puts itself together.”
He noted the NPP has conducted its own survey on their fortunes amongst other things, and are ready for victory in 2020.
“The New Patriotic Party itself has also conducted its internal survey and we know where we stand…”
