There seems to be a shakeup in the NPP as the top 15 NPP MPs lose their 2024 election primaries and will not return to parliament, nor would they be contesting on the ticket of the NPP in the 2024 general election.

He added that the delegates have spoken their minds and have shown all MPs who failed to work for their constituents the exit door.
