Director of Elections for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Evans NimakoThe opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rejected the Supreme Court's decision striking down the delegate system for internal party elections. According to the party's Director of Elections, Evans Nimako, the ruling will impose a significant financial burden on political parties and strengthen the case for state funding of political parties. He said the debate over public financing of political parties has been ongoing for years but has become even more relevant following the court's judgment. He warned that replacing the delegate system with broader participation in internal elections would substantially increase the cost of organising party primaries across the country. "In the face of it, this is going to be a huge burden on political parties," he stressed.
