The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) recently undertook a crucial step towards the 2024 general election by holding parliamentary candidate elections in constituencies without current members of parliament, termed as orphan constituencies. With 111 constituencies across the 16 regions witnessing a competitive showdown among 321 aspirants, the dynamics of these elections unfolded in unique ways.
Understanding the Delegate Dynamics
The backbone of these elections lay in the diverse group of delegates, comprising polling station and constituency executives, electoral area coordinators, Council of Elders, Council of patrons, founder members (if any), and existing MPs (if any). This eclectic mix set the stage for a fascinating electoral process.
Certainly! Here are some key election results from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate elections held recently:
