Observers, aspirants, and delegates are all watching keenly as votes are counted table by table as the Ashanti Region remains the NPP’s stronghold, and the outcome of these elections is expected to shape the party’s strategy ahead of 2028.

The NPP is held its regional elections in 15 regions on Saturday, August 15, 2026, with the Western North Region scheduled to conduct its elections on Sunday, August 16, 2026.

The exercise forms part of the party’s internal reorganisation as it seeks to rebuild its structures and strengthen its grassroots base following its defeat in the 2024 general elections.
