In the run-up to the next by-election, Maame Yaa Gyamerah Aboagye, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Ejisu, has addressed detractors who have questioned her residence in the seat.
Following the death of Member of Parliament John Kumah, Aboagye is running for the open seat. However, she has come under fire due to claims that she does not live in the area.
On April 10, 2024, she did, however, defend her candidacy by saying that Ejisu needed a representative with strong connections in Accra, the nation’s capital.
She underlined that she is the best applicant for the job and that she can use her connections to advance the area.
With nine candidates approved to run for the position of the late MP and Deputy Finance Minister, John Kumah, the NPP poll to select a representative for the April 13, 2024, by-election has drawn attention.
