Eight people have picked nomination forms to run in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries in the Kumawu Constituency by-election in the Ashanti Region.
Following the death of the area’s late MP, Philip Bosoah, the party allowed nominations for the primary.
Before its Easter recess, Parliament alerted the Electoral Commission (EC) of the need to stage a by-election in the Kumawu Constituency following the death of the MP.
Following the statement, the NPP invited nominations for interested individuals to pick forms beginning April 11, 2023.
Nominations are due today, April 14, 2023.
The forms were picked by Dr Aboagye Dacosta, the current Director of Health Promotion at the Ghana Health Services (GHS); Opanyin Yaw Baah, a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Kumawu; Obaapa Ama Serwaa, Ernest Anim, Dr Philip Yaw Barnor, Edward Kofi Osei, Kwame Appiah Kubi, and Owusu Bempah.
The NPP is expected to hold the primary on Sunday, April 23, 2023, to elect a parliamentary candidate to represent it in the by-election.
