According to Article 13 (9) of the party's constitution, a Special Electoral College will play a pivotal role in this process. As the race for the NPP's flagbearer intensifies, all eyes are now on the forthcoming Special Congress, which will play a crucial role in shaping the field of candidates and determining the final contenders for the Presidential primaries.
