A viral video captures a power plant being set up for the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) final rally for the by-election in Ejisu.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed the clearance of six candidates to contest the upcoming Ejisu by-election scheduled for April 30, 2024. This by-election, overseen by the EC, aims to elect a new parliamentary representative for the Ejisu Constituency following the passing of the incumbent, John Kumah, who also served as the deputy finance minister, on March 7, 2024.

Leading the candidates is Kwabena Boateng, representing the NPP, who secured the second position on the ballot. Former MP Ing. Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, running as an independent candidate, holds the fourth spot, while Beatrice Boakye of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) is listed third.

Esther Osei represents the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and holds the first position on the ballot. Gabriel Agyemang Joseph and Joseph Attakora, both independent candidates, occupy the fifth and sixth positions, respectively.

Notably, the largest opposition party, the NDC, did not nominate a candidate for the by-election.

A former three-term NPP member of Parliament running as an independent candidate, Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, is anticipated to pose a significant challenge to his former party.
