NPP announces tight security measures ahead of their conference

The organising Committee of the NPP's 2025 National Delegates Conference, scheduled for Saturday, July 19, in Accra, has announced stringent security arrangement for the event.

In a statement announcing the guidelines for the impending event, the committee revealed a tight security arrangement it intends to put in place in joint operations between the party's internal security and state security.

“The Party’s internal security operatives will work in close coordination with state security agencies to maintain law and order throughout the conference period,” the committee revealed.

“Security officers shall be deployed to delegate hostels, cooking points, and resting areas to ensure safety and prevent unauthorized access.”

“The inner perimeter of the stadium is declared a restricted zone, accessible only to those assigned specific duties within that area.”

As part of the security arrangements, the committee revealed that leading party members, who attend such events with their aides, will be granted limited accreditations for their accompanying staffers.

For emphasis, the committee announced that “State security personnel (Ghana Police Service) will man all designated entry points and ensure strict enforcement of accreditation procedures in accordance with established rules of engagement”.

As part of security measures to ensure smooth entry, the committee has also announced that delegates from each of the sixteen (16) regions will be assigned a designated gate of entry “to facilitate orderly movement and effective security screening”.

The committee warned that any person arrested for misconduct, breach of security protocols or disturbance “shall be dealt with in accordance with the law, including possible prosecution”.

Meanwhile, non-delegates have been “strongly advised to stay home and follow the conference proceedings via television or other media platforms” because no “special access will be granted to non-delegates if they are not invited”.
