The selection of parliamentary candidates in these constituencies will be crucial in determining the party’s representation in the legislative branch of government.
Approximately 104 constituencies nationwide will be involved in these elections, which are major because they represent a critical step in the party’s preparation for the upcoming general elections of 2024.
Delegates and party members nationwide are preparing to cast their votes in various constituencies where the NPP does not have sitting Members of Parliament, also known as orphan constituencies.
Through this internal democratic exercise, party members are given the opportunity to pick representatives who they feel will successfully represent their interests and advance the party’s goals.
There have been a variety of variables during the primaries, such as several candidates vying for the same seat, talks about maintaining party unity, and worries about the rapid succession of internal elections.
The NPP’s candidates for the constituencies will be chosen by the results of these primaries, which will set the way for more intense campaigns before the general elections in 2024.
