The nomination phase for parliamentary primaries in constituencies with incumbent Members of Parliament (MPs) from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) concluded on Monday, December 25.

Reports suggest that notable NPP figures, including Majority Leader in Parliament Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Daniel Kwaku Botwe, Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, and Samuel Atta-Akyea, MP for Abuakwa South, among others, have opted not to seek re-election.

Initiated on December 20, 2023, the Party commenced the nomination process for parliamentary aspirants in constituencies with sitting MPs.

Scheduled for January 27, 2024, the NPP plans to finalize its internal election process to determine parliamentary candidates for the upcoming 2024 elections.

Anticipation for closely contested races is high in constituencies such as Dome-Kwabenya, Ablekuma West, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, and Asante Akyem South.

Additionally, constituencies like Akim Swedru, Bantama, Bekwai, and Fomena are also expected to witness intense competition during the primaries.
