The elections took place on November 13 and 14 as part of the party’s internal reorganisation in preparation for its national executive elections scheduled for December 19, 2026, as well as the upcoming general elections in 2028. The Electoral Commission oversaw the voting process, while the Ghana Police Service managed security arrangements. Proxy voting was prohibited, requiring all accredited delegates to attend in person.
