The incumbent NPP will have its outstanding parliamentary primaries for the 168 constituencies where it has sitting Members of Parliament (MPs) on June 20, 2020.
The parliamentary primaries have been outstanding since April 2020 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease which culminated in the imposition of restrictions on movements and mass gatherings as a preventive measure.
The June 20 primaries will, therefore, enable the party to select the last batch of parliamentary candidates for the December 7, 2020 elections.

The parliamentary primaries are expected to be held at the electoral areas and not the previous format whereby all the delegates met to vote in one place.
The General Secretary, John Boadu issued a statement to confirm that the primaries will take place in 168 constituencies where the Party has sitting MPs to elect its Parliamentary Candidates for the 2020 General Elections on June 20, 2020.
Below is the full statement from the party
“The NPP has scheduled June 20, 2020, to hold its Parliamentary Primaries in the 168 Constituencies where the Party has sitting MPs to elect its Parliamentary Candidates for the 2020 General Elections.
The Party has also resolved to acclaim the sole candidate who had filed his nomination to contest in the Presidential Primaries, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, as the Party’s 2020 Presidential Candidate.
These critical decisions were taken by the party at a National Executive Committee (NEC) and National Council meetings jointly held on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra.
The date for the acclamation of the Presidential Candidate and his Running Mate will soon be communicated to the general public. Equally, the Party will soon issue guidelines for the conduct of the Parliamentary Primaries.
Thank you.
John Boadu
General Secretary”
