Seventeen Members of Parliament from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not be seeking re-election in the 2024 elections as they were defeated in their party’s parliamentary primaries.

The list includes both newcomers and former MPs who toppled the incumbents or serial aspirants.

While their defeat marks the end of their current parliamentary tenure, many of the candidates who emerged victorious in the primaries are expected to secure victory in the general election because the constituencies are considered safe for the NDC.

Here is a list of the winning candidates who defeated the sitting MPs in their respective constituencies:

  1. Hajia Nasira Afrah defeated incumbent Alex Adomako in the Sekyere Afram Plains constituency.
  2. Charles Bawaduah emerged victorious over incumbent Edward Bawa in the Bongo constituency.
  3. Nelson Kofi Djabab defeated incumbent Wisdom Gidisu in the Krachie East constituency.
  4. Attah Issah secured a win over Alhaji A. B. A. Fuseini in the Sagnarigu constituency.
