The party officially closed nominations at 5pm on Wednesday March 22, 2023.
Per a statement released by the party, and signed by Sulemana M. Agitator, Regional Communications Officer of the party in the Northern Region, three incumbent MPs, namely Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed of Tamale Central, Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini of Tamale North and Daniel Nsala Wakpal of Kpandai if successful at the vetting will go unopposed.
