The Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, has called on the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to abandon any plans of contesting a future by-election in the Ayawaso East Constituency.
His comment follows the death of the MP for the area, Naser Toure Mahama, who passed away on Sunday, January 4 at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital after a short illness.
Speaking to Citi News, the Accra Mayor said a non-competitive by-election would be a gesture of respect to the late lawmaker.
“The National Democratic Congress will sit down and take a decision that will help the electorates.
“We are not going to struggle over this, and I think and hope that our opponents will not come to contest this election so that we will just do it peacefully as a sign of respect for him,” he stated
