The current Parliament of Ghana’s Fourth Republic will end on the night of January 7, 2025.

Ahead of that, the ruling New Patriotic Party which forms the current majority group in the House is gearing up for the 2024 general elections by holding parliamentary primaries in the 137 constituencies where it has sitting MPs.

The contest slated for Janaury 27, 2023, will however miss a host of sitting MPs who will ultimately not make it into the 9th Parliament as they have announced their official exit from the legislature pending the expiration of their current term.
