The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially disclosed that it will not take part in the April 30 by-election in the Ejisu constituency.
The General Secretary of the party, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, at a media interaction, emphasised that the party has set processes in motion targeting the main parliamentary elections on December 7, which require enough time and attention.
He reaffirmed the party’s determination to withdraw from the by-election, stressing their dedication to laying the framework for the December 7 general elections.
“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,” he stated.
“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,” said Mr. Fiavi Kwetey.
Meanwhile, the ruling New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) delegates in the Ejisu constituency elected the second Vice Chairman for the constituency, Kwabena Boateng, on Saturday, April 13, as their candidate ahead of the by-election.
