NPP primaries: Nhyiaeso poll temporarily suspended over lawsuit

The New Patriotic Party, NPP, has temporarily suspended its parliamentary primaries in the Nhyiaeso Constituency.

This decision comes in response to an interlocutory injunction filed by one of the aspirants, leading to the postponement of the election.

During its National Executive Committee meeting held on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, the party also disqualified an aspirant in the Bimbilla constituency, leaving the Minister for Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, to go unopposed.

Meanwhile Lydia Seyram Alhassan is also running unopposed in the Ayawaso West-Wuogon constituency after the party’s former constituency youth organizer, Owusu Amankwah, had his appeal rejected.

Some thirty other aspirants are also going unopposed in the NPP’s January 27 parliamentary primaries in constituencies where the party has representation.
