The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has scheduled April 25, 2020 for its parliamentary primaries in all the 169 constituencies where they have incumbent MPs.
The party scrapped an initial plan to hold primaries for sitting Members of Parliament in January 2020.

The party will equally hold its 2020 presidential primaries on the same date.
These decisions were taken by the party at a joint National Executive Committee (NEC) and National Council meeting held on Monday, 21 October 2019 at the Alisa Hotel in Accra.

General secretary of the NPP, John Boadu, however, warned that no aspirant is allowed to campaign until nominations are opened.

“Ahead of these primaries, the party is cautioning prospective aspirants to desist from all forms of campaign activity until nominations are duly opened else they risk being disqualified for flouting party directives.”

He added that the NEC will, at the appropriate time, come out with detailed guidelines and modalities for the conduct of these primaries.

The party will also hold parliamentary primaries in the remaining 'orphan constituencies' that were excluded from the party's nationwide primaries held on 28 September 2019 due to some outstanding matters which the party said have now been resolved.

The primaries for these outstanding constituencies will be held on Saturday, 26 October 2019.
