Four individuals seeking to replace the current Manhyia South Member of Parliament as the New Patriotic Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for the 2024 elections have been cleared to contest in the upcoming internal elections. The election committee confirmed their eligibility.

Danquah Smith Buttey, the NPP’s National First Vice Chairman, called for a clean campaign ahead of the elections.
The candidates include Owusu Afriyie Prempeh, the biological brother of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who is number one on the ballot, a private legal practitioner, who is placed number two on the ballot, Akwasi Coker Gyambibi, who is the number three candidate on the ballot, James Owusu Boakye, an Assembly Member for the Manhyia Electoral area, who secured number four on the ballot.
