On 29 July 2026, the Supreme Court delivered its much-awaited decision on the constitutionality of the delegate-based electoral college system employed by political parties in selecting presidential and parliamentary candidates.
By a 5–2 majority, the Court held that restricting the selection of such candidates to a limited body of delegates is inconsistent with the democratic principles governing the internal organisation of political parties under Article 55(5) of the 1992 Constitution. The decision extends beyond the internal arrangements of the New Patriotic Party: all political parties registered with electoral commission are restrained from selecting presidential and parliamentary candidates through delegate-based electoral college systems.
