The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region has announced that a final decision regarding the party’s participation in the upcoming Ejisu by-election will be made on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.
This announcement follows the Electoral Commission’s (EC) scheduling of the by-election for April 30, 2024, following the passing of John Kumah on March 7, 2024.
The 45-year-old MP passed away after a brief illness, leaving behind a wife and six children.
Speaking to Citi News, NDC’s Ashanti Regional Secretary Dr. Frank Amoakohene stated that the party will soon clarify its position regarding participation in the election.
“We in the NDC are far ahead in terms of the processes leading into this by-election and we have a candidate already.
“We had not earlier come out with a firm stance on whether we were participating or not because we were hoping and waiting to hear the date and the declaration that the seat is vacant.
“So we are considering a lot of things on our desk and I am very sure that we will be guided by all the research work that has been done and I am sure that by Tuesday, we will be able to put to rest all the debate on whether we are contesting or not.”
