Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has entreated members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), especially candidates in the ongoing Parliamentary Primaries, to ensure a more united party after the January 27 primaries.

The Vice President in a Facebook post entreated the candidates to rise above all personal interests and differences and ensure the party emerges victorious at the end of the elections.

“We must rise above personal interests and petty differences and focus on the greater goal of advancing the principles and ideals of our great party, the New Patriotic Party,” he said.

He further noted that "the election of December 2024 is crucial for our party and nation. The NPP needs to come out of this process strengthened, united, and ready to deliver victory in 2024."

All is set for the New Patriotic Party’s much anticipated Parliamentary primaries scheduled for today, January 27, 2024.

The elections is being held in over 104 constituencies where the party currently has incumbent Members of Parliament (MPs).

Some six (6) constituencies, however, will not partake in the elections. The excluded areas are Mampong and Fomena in the Ashanti Region; Binduri in Upper East Region; Agona West in the Central Region; Akwapim South in the Eastern Region; and Sunyani East in the Bono Region.

So far 321 candidates have been cleared to contest out of the total number of 373 aspirants who filed to contest the primaries.
