The current National Chairman, Freddie Blay is not seeking re-election.
The current National Treasurer, Kwabena Abankwa-Yeboah is not seeking re-election, he is rather eyeing the national chairman position.

The National Youth Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye is not seeking re-election for that position, rather he is eyeing the National Organiser position.
Therefore, someone with institutional memory like myself [John Boadu], ought to stay on for a smooth transition.
Besides, to be able to help “Break the 8”, someone like himself needs to steer the administration of the party for that purpose.
Mr Boadu is officially announcing launching his campaign on Tuesday at the Alisa Hotel in Accra but ahead of that, and in publicly declaring his bid for another term, he said.
He spoke in a radio interview on Accra based Okay FM, monitored by Graphic Online on Monday morning.
