The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primaries saw a reshuffling that left many surprised and some prominent lawmakers without a ticket for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
Among the notable casualties was Deputy Minister for Local Government Augustine Collins Ntim whose long-standing political career unexpectedly halted. The loss of the Deputy Minister for Communications, Ama Pomaa Boateng, further added to the wave of changes, leaving political observers contemplating the party’s internal dynamics.
One significant upset occurred in Subin where the incumbent Member of Parliament, Eugene Boakye Antwi faced an unexpected defeat. The news of his unsuccessful bid sent shockwaves through the political circles, as she had been a prominent figure within the party.
The aftermath of the primaries sparked discussions about the evolving dynamics within the NPP and the factors that contributed to the defeats of these well-established politicians. Some attributed it to shifts in public opinion, while others pointed to internal party dynamics and changing priorities among voters.
As the dust settled, attention turned to the emerging candidates who would carry the party’s banner in the upcoming general elections.
The results of the parliamentary primaries served as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of politics, leaving both winners and losers to navigate the next chapter of their political careers.
