NDC pulls out of Ejisu by-election
And between now and December 7, we will be in the position to make sure we are deploying everything that we have done so that really will be the way we want to go.”
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), has declared that it will not partake in the Ejisu by-election slated for April 30, after the tragic passing of the Member of Parliament for the constituency, John Ampontuah Kumah.
This was communicated by the General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey.
According to him, the party rather has its focus on preparing for the main parliamentary elections in December.
In his engagement with the media, he stressed that the Ejisu constituency like any other constituency, will be fiercely contested for in the December polls.
“NDC will officially not be taking part in the Ejisu by-election. We have already set into motion processes leading to December 7, just a few months away. We want to continue those processes and ensure that come December 7, we are prepared to combat in all the constituencies and Ejisu will be one of them. So for this particular by-election, NDC will not be part of it. We are very confident about the processes we have in place. We just want to make sure we have the time to implement them fully. And between now and December 7, we will be in the position to make sure we are deploying everything that we have done so that really will be the way we want to go.”
Meanwhile, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), elected the second Vice Chairman for the party in the constituency, Kwabena Boateng on April 13, to represent them in the parliamentary polls.
