NPP polls moving smoothly in Northern Region with 12,474 delegates expected to vote
Voting is currently underway in all the 18 constituencies across the Northern Region in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential primary.
A total of 12,474 delegates are expected to cast their ballots at 19 designated voting centres in the region.
When Graphic Online reporters toured voting centers in the Sagnarigu, Tamale South, Tamale North, and Tamale Central constituencies, voting was ongoing smoothly.
Delegates arrived very early with many dressed in party colours, queuing to cast their ballots.
In Tamale Central, about 35 delegates had cast their votes as of 8:30am.
Voting at the centre commenced on schedule, with electoral officials efficiently guiding delegates through the process.
The verification and voting procedures were carried out swiftly, helping to prevent long queues.
At the Sagnarigu voting centre, turnout was steady, with delegates trickling in at intervals. Party officials were on hand to provide directions, while observers monitored the process from a distance.
Similar scenes were observed in Tamale South and Tamale North, where voting progressed smoothly without interruptions.
Security presence was noticeable across all the centres visited. Police officers were strategically positioned to maintain law and order, while access to the voting areas was restricted to accredited delegates and officials.
This visible security presence helped create a peaceful environment and boosted confidence among delegates.
As of 8:50am, no incidents had been reported at any of the centres, and both party officials and delegates expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise.
