Some of the incumbent Members of Parliament going for a reelection are facing stiff contests in constituencies such, Bantama in the Ashanti region and Adansi Asokwa in the Central region among others.
The party has a total of 326 aspirants cleared to contest the election in 100 constituencies in 15 regions out of the 16 regions because the party has no seat in the Oti region.
