The NPP leadership informed all delegates ahead of the super delegates congress that publicly showing cast ballots is a criminal violation.
The parties issued notice that those who violate this clause would face legal consequences in accordance with the law.
“Delegates are hereby informed that any cast ballots publicly displayed will be rejected,” a statement issued by the Presidential Election Committee on Thursday, August 24 said.
It added “We wish to further emphasize that there will be no congress on the day of voting, and voting will be strictly walk-in.

“Considering this, it is anticipated that there will be no provision for a public address or occasion for any National Party Executive, government representative, or regional executive to publicly address delegates on the day of the voting.
“We wish to reassure all relevant parties, including stakeholders, delegates, aspirants, and the public that with these guidelines in place, no individual can decipher the voting preferences and patterns of specific voters after the voting process concludes. This measure guarantees the integrity and confidentiality of the voting exercise.”
