The Electoral Commission (EC) has marked April 30, 2024, as the pivotal date for the upcoming by-election in Ejisu, following the untimely passing of incumbent Member of Parliament, John Kumah, on March 7, 2024.
John Kumah, a dedicated public servant, tragically succumbed to illness at the age of 45, leaving behind a grieving family consisting of his wife and six children. His departure has left a void in Ejisu's representation, prompting the need for a decisive electoral process to determine his successor.
With the stage set, all eyes turn to the candidates vying for the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) parliamentary candidacy in the constituency. Following a thorough vetting process conducted by the party's committee, all nine aspirants cleared the hurdle, showcasing their readiness to step up to the challenge of leading Ejisu forward.
The journey to this pivotal moment began with the opening of nominations on April 2, 2024. Over the course of two days, from April 2 to April 4, hopeful contenders filed their nominations, each motivated by a desire to serve their community and honor John Kumah's legacy.
As the NPP gears up to select its parliamentary candidate on April 13, 2024, anticipation mounts, and the electorate eagerly awaits the emergence of the individual who will carry the party's banner in the upcoming by-election.
While the NPP diligently prepares for the electoral showdown, other political entities weigh their options. As of now, no other party has officially thrown its hat into the ring for the by-election. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) remains contemplative, deliberating on whether to partake in the electoral process.
As the countdown to April 30 begins, Ejisu braces itself for a momentous occasion that will shape its political landscape for years to come. With each passing day, the anticipation grows, underscoring the significance of this by-election in charting the course of Ejisu's future.
