The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has opted out of the Ejisu by-election set for April 30, following the demise of the constituency's Member of Parliament, John Ampontuah Kumah.

Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the NDC, stated that the party is redirecting its efforts toward preparing for the main parliamentary elections in December.

Last Saturday, April 13, delegates from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the constituency elected Kwabena Boateng, the second Vice Chairman of the party in the constituency, as their candidate for the by-election.

In a media briefing, Mr. Kwetey reiterated the NDC's decision to abstain from the by-election, highlighting their dedication to groundwork for 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” he explained.
