Flagbearer hopeful Ken Ohene Agyapong has formed an Anti-Election Rigging Squad ahead of the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) presidential primaries slated for 31 January 2026.<\/p>\n

The move comes in response to growing concerns among his supporters about the possibility of electoral malpractice during the contest.<\/p>\n

Several opinion polls have consistently placed Mr Agyapong as the favourite in the race, heightening the stakes as the primaries draw closer.<\/p>\n

The establishment of the squad is seen as a safeguarding initiative designed to protect the integrity of the process and ensure that the will of delegates is respected.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, a number of prophets and religious leaders have predicted a resounding victory for Mr Agyapong, provided the elections are conducted fairly.<\/p>\n

Some, however, have cautioned that there could be attempts to manipulate the outcome, a concern that has fuelled the creation of the special response team.<\/p>\n

Joojo Rocky Obeng, Director of Elections for Team Ken, confirmed the development in a video posted on his social media platforms. He explained that measures are being put in place to monitor the election process closely and respond swiftly to any signs of irregularity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fully prepared to prevent any attempt at rigging these elections,\u201d Mr Obeng stated, emphasising that the squad would work within the confines of the law.<\/p>\n

The decision has generated widespread discussion within party circles, with many viewing it as a proactive step towards safeguarding transparency in what is expected to be a fiercely contested primary.<\/p>\n

Mr Agyapong\u2019s camp maintains that the squad is not intended to intimidate but rather to guarantee a free and fair process, thereby upholding the credibility of both the primaries and the wider democratic process within the NPP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
