General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu says the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party will meet to take a decision about the party's parliamentary and presidential primaries.
According to him, though the party slated April 25 for the primaries, COVID-19 seems to disrupt the party's plans for the primaries.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he added that a decision will have to be taken by NEC to decide on the way forward as a party.
However, aspirants can go about their campaign duties, adding that the primaries will surely come off.
"Aspirants and party faithfuls are entreated to observe the COVID-19 protocols whilst they go about their campaign duties," he added.
The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has settled on 25th April 2020, as the date to hold parliamentary primaries in all the 169 constituencies where the party has sitting Members of Parliament to elect its parliamentary candidates for the 2020 general elections.
The party will equally hold its 2020 presidential primaries on the same date.
Ahead of these primaries, the party has cautioned prospective aspirants to desist from all forms of campaign activities until nominations are opened or they risk being disqualified for flouting party directives.
These decisions were taken by the party at a joint National Executive Committee (NEC) and National Council meeting held on Monday, 21st October 2019 at the Alisa Hotel in Accra.
