Three aspirants have picked up nomination forms to contest the upcoming National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries in the Akwatia constituency.
The contenders are former Member of Parliament, Henry Boakye; Bernard Bediako Baidoo, the current NDC Akwatia Constituency Secretary; and Erasmus Koney Ali.
Per the party’s guidelines, all three — along with any other individuals who file nominations by the close of Wednesday, July 30 — will be vetted on Thursday, July 31. Balloting will be held immediately after the vetting ahead of the primaries slated for Monday, August 4, 2025.
The NDC is preparing to elect a new candidate following the passing of the sitting MP, which has necessitated a by-election in the constituency.
