Three aspirants have picked up nomination forms to contest the forthcoming National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries in the Akwatia Constituency.
The aspirants include former legislator Henry Boakye, current NDC Akwatia Constituency Secretary Bernard Bediako Baidoo, and Erasmus Koney Ali.
Per the party’s official schedule, these candidates along with any others who file nominations before the deadline on Wednesday, July 30 will be vetted on Thursday, July 31. A ballot draw will be conducted immediately afterward to determine their placement on the ballot paper ahead of the primaries, slated for Monday, August 4, 2025.
This internal race follows the death of the sitting Member of Parliament, prompting a by-election in the constituency.
In the meantime, the rival New Patriotic Party (NPP) has reportedly settled on Solomon Kwame Asumadu, Chief Executive Officer of Owuo Mining Company, as its parliamentary nominee.
According to the party, the selection was the result of broad consultations with stakeholders, culminating in a unified decision rather than a competitive primary.
