The Ejisu constituency branch of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has cleared all nine aspirants who filed to contest the parliamentary primary.
They were cleared by the vetting committee after successfully going through the process.
The nine individuals picked up forms on Thursday, April 4, to contest the NPP parliamentary primary for the Ejisu constituency since the party opened nominations on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
The party is expected to hold the primary on April 13, 2024, to elect a candidate to represent the NPP in the by-election.
The primary became necessary following the death of Dr. John Kumah, who was the MP and Deputy Finance Minister.
After the vetting on Saturday, April 6, 2024, the party stated that it will soon issue guidelines for the primary as it prepares for the Ejisu by-election, with the committee also conducting a ballot for the candidates.
Speaking to the media, Director of Elections of the New Patriotic Party, Evans Nimako explained that “The Committee has recommended that all of them be allowed to participate in this contest. Also, we’ve taken them through the ballot and so balloting has also been done. We’ve informed them that the National Executives of the party will meet them on Tuesday.
“They have been advised by the Committee to conduct a campaign exercise that will bring unity,” Mr Nimako added.
