The presidential primary would open on Friday, May 26, 2023, and close on Saturday, June 24, 2023.

The National Council further barred National, Regional, and Constituency party executives and MMDCEs from contesting in Constituencies where the party has sitting members of the party.

So far, seven stalwarts of the NPP have made public their intentions to lead the party.
