BREAKING: Supreme Court declares political parties’ delegate system unconstitutional; orders NDC, NPP and other parties to allow all members to vote
The ruling is expected to trigger significant reforms within Ghana’s political parties, particularly the major parties such as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which have historically relied on delegate conferences to elect presidential candidates and parliamentary representatives.

The Supreme Court has declared the delegate system used by political parties in selecting presidential and parliamentary candidates unconstitutional.
