The congress was to reduce number of aspirants seeking to lead the party in the 2016 presidential elections from seven to five.
The exercise was generally smooth in all the regions with minor challenges over proxy voting.
There was confusion at the Northern region , Tamale when a member of the party displayed his vote to the gathering.
Some agents at the venue demanded for a nullification of his vote.
The aspirants were Nana Akufo Addo, the two-time presidential candidate of the NPP, Alan Kyeremanten, Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, Stephen Asamoah-Boateng, the three were Ministers in the Kufour government. The rest are Kofi Osei Ameyaw-a Deputy Minister in the Kufuor government and MP for Asuogyaman and Mr Isaac Osei, MP for Subin.
