Stephen Ayesu Ntim, National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has reportedly informed top party officials of his decision not to seek re-election at the end of his current term according to a report by Asaase News.

Though he intends to serve until 2026, sources close to him say his declining health-linked to progressive dementia-has ruled out any future bid.

Ntim's absence from major party activities, including Vice President Bawumia's nationwide "Thank You Tour", had already triggered speculation about his status.

His inner circle confirms that while resignation is not immediate, his political chapter as chairman will close after this term.
