Outcomes from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries held on Saturday, January 27, 2024, reveal a significant political upheaval as more than two dozen incumbent Members of Parliament find themselves excluded from future parliamentary aspirations.
The latest reports affirm that a total of 28 MPs experienced defeat during the primaries, signaling a notable shift in the political landscape.
Among the prominent figures who faced unexpected setbacks in the primaries were Sarah Adwoa Safo representing Dome Kwabenya and Freda Prempeh. These defeats underscore the dynamic nature of political contests, where even established figures are not immune to the winds of change. The outcome of these primaries will undoubtedly influence the political narrative leading up to the upcoming elections, and the reshuffling of key players sets the stage for a potentially transformative period in the NPP.
