The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has temporarily suspended its parliamentary primaries in the Nhyiaeso Constituency following the filing of an interlocutory injunction by one of the aspirants.

This move comes in response to a legal challenge, resulting in the postponement of the elections.

During a National Executive Committee meeting held on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, the party took further actions.

A contestant in the Bimbilla constituency was disqualified, leading to Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, running unopposed.

In another development, Lydia Seyram Alhassan is poised to run unopposed in Ayawaso West-Wuogon following the rejection of an appeal by the party’s former constituency youth organizer, Owusu Amankwah.

As the NPP prepares for its parliamentary primaries scheduled for January 27, about thirty other aspirants are anticipated to go unopposed in constituencies where the party already holds representation.
