Not necessarily.
For Alkali Earth metals like Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, the second ionization potential is lesser than the first IE as they attain a Alkali metal valece configuration after the first Ionization.

yes for example-
take Na (sodium) when one outer electron is removed I.E 1
NOW IT ATTAIN configuration of neon hence removal of electron require high energy then I.E1
