Over 90,000 voters are gearing up to vote in the Ejisu by-election set for today, Tuesday, April 30, 2024. The Electoral Commission (EC) is conducting the by-election to fill the vacant seat left by the demise of the late Member of Parliament (MP) and Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. John Ampontuah Kumah.
Following Dr. Kumah’s passing, the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) selected Kwabena Boateng from a pool of nine contenders on April 13, 2024, to vie for the seat. However, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the main opposition party, has opted out of participating in the by-election.
