List of 20 NPP MPs who failed to retain slots in NPP primaries
Apart from the 19 incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) members of Parliament who have decided not to return to the House, 20 others have lost their bids in Saturday’s primaries.
What this means is that they will not be on the ballot paper for the NPP for the 2024 general elections on December 7th, 2024. One particular incident that has excited Ghanaians across the political divide is the results for Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo, who is the current MP for Dome Kwabenya constituency.
Mike Oquaye Jnr dealt a hefty and abrupt blow to the political future of the incumbent Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adowa Safo.
This was after he beat her in the Saturday, January 27, 2024, parliamentary primaries of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The results, as declared by the EC officials for Dome Kwabenya are as follows:
Mike Oquaye Jnr – 1194
Adwoa Safo – 328
Sheela Oppong – 186
The Dome-Kwabenya parliamentary seat, one of the largest constituencies in Ghana, has been a hotbed for elections.
