The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has made a bold decision to sit out of the upcoming by-election in Ejisu following the unfortunate passing of the constituency’s Member of Parliament, John Ampontuah Kumah. The NDC General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has confirmed that the party will instead focus on gearing up for the crucial parliamentary elections slated for December. This announcement comes after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the constituency elected Kwabena Boateng as their candidate for the by-election on April 13.
During a media briefing, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey reiterated the NDC’s stance on abstaining from the by-election, stressing their dedication to laying the groundwork for the December polls. He expressed confidence in the party’s strategies and preparations for the upcoming elections, emphasizing the importance of utilizing the time leading up to December 7 to fully implement their plans. It is evident that the NDC is prioritizing their long-term goals and overall electoral strategy over participating in the Ejisu by-election.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, it is crucial for all parties to make strategic decisions that will ultimately serve their best interests in the long run. The NDC’s decision to forgo the by-election in favor of focusing on the upcoming parliamentary elections demonstrates their commitment to strategic planning and preparedness for the future. It will be interesting to see how this decision impacts the party’s performance in the constituency come December.
