Flagbearer aspirants for the New Patriotic Party have been made aware of how they will appear on the ballot paper for the special delegate congress on August 26.
At the balloting on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, seven of the candidates were present to pick their own slots while three were represented.
At the end of the balloting, Vice President who was represented by his agents picked the 10th position while MP for Assin Central Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and former trade minister Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen picked the first and second slots respectively.
