==Results==
To reduce the number of candidates, the NPP held a Special Super Delegates Congress on 26 August 2023, which would select the top five candidates who would then go on to contest in the final primaries in November. Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia placed first, with 68% of the votes. To the surprise of many observers, "maverick" MP Kennedy Agyapong, running a campaign largely critical of the Akufo-Addo administration, placed second, edging out NPP veteran Alan John Kyeremanten, who first ran for President in 2008. Owusu Afriyie Akoto placed fourth, while Francis Addai-Nimoh and Boakye Agyarko tied for fifth place, necessitating a run-off, which Addai-Nimoh won, rounding out the five final candidates for the primaries.{{cite news |title=NPP Super Delegates Conference: Regional break down of the results |url=https://citinewsroom.com/2023/08/npp-super-delegates-conference-results-from-voting-centres/ |access-date=28 November 2023 |work=Citinewsroom - Comprehensive News in Ghana |date=26 August 2023}} However, Kyeremanten announced that he would withdraw from the primaries (later leaving the NPP entirely and launching his own third-party campaign), leaving four candidates.{{cite news |last1=Frimpong |first1=Enoch Darfah |title=Alan Kyerematen quits NPP again, decides to contest 2024 as independent candidate |url=https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/politics/it-is-now-official-alan-kyerematen-is-going-into-2024-as-independent-presidential-candidate.html |access-date=28 November 2023 |work=Daily Graphic |date=24 September 2023}}

They submitted forms for Philip Appiah-Kubi who was her running mate.

The Commission however went ahead with printing the ballot papers citing inadequate time and to reduce costs if they had to start all over again.{{cite web |title=Why Akua Donkor's image will remain on the presidential ballot on December 7 - EC clarifies |url=https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/politics/Why-Akua-Donkor-s-image-will-remain-on-the-presidential-ballot-on-December-7-EC-clarifies-1959682 |website=GhanaWeb|access-date=12 November 2024 |date=12 November 2024}}{{cite web |title=2024 Election: EC resumes printing of presidential ballot papers |url=https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/politics/2024-Election-EC-resumes-printing-of-presidential-ballot-papers-1959675 |website=GhanaWeb|access-date=12 November 2024 |date=12 November 2024}}

In nine constituencies, political party supporters showed up en masse to collation centers and caused damage to election materials, delaying presidential and parliamentary results from those locations. Margins in the presidential race were large enough for an official winner to be declared prior to reporting from these constituencies.
