Some 18 Members of Parliament (MPs) belonging to the Majority Caucus of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) have declared their intention not to seek re-election in the upcoming parliamentary elections in 2024. 

Among the notable figures opting not to seek re-election are Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu (Suame), First Deputy Speaker Joe Osei-Owusu (Bekwai), Atta Akyea (Abuakwa South), Joe Ghartey (Essikado Ketan), and Ken Agyapong (Assin Central). 

Additional MPs choosing to step down include Dan Botwe (Okere), Kwasi Amoako-Atta (Atiwa West), Dr. Kwaku Afriyie (Sefwi Wiaso), and Emmanuel Marfo (Oforikrom). 

The others are Benito Owusu-Bio (Atwima Nwabiagya), Carlos Ahenkora (Tema West), Nana Kwasi Adjei Boateng (New Juabeng North), William Owuraku Aidoo (Afigya Kwabre South), and Johnson Adu (Ahafo Ano South West).

The rest include Francis Manu-Adabor (Ahafo Ano South-East), Suleman Sanid (Ahafo Ano North), Kojo Kum (Ahanta West), and Francisca Oteng (Kwabre East).

The reasons behind their decision remain unclear, with speculation ranging from potential retirements from politics to pursuing alternative professional opportunities or taking a break from the demanding nature of parliamentary life.
