Ho (Volta Region) – The Volta Regional Executive Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has annulled the Ho-Central Constituency elections held on 29 March this year.
The Council has fixed Saturday 31 May, this year for constituency elections in the region. Ken-wuud Nuworsu, acting Regional Chairman made this known to the Ghana News Agency in a telephone interview.
He explained that the Regional Executive Council on 22 March this year directed that all constituency elections should be suspended until recent bye-elections in the country were over.
Nuworsu said the organisers of the 29 March constituency elections in the Ho-Central flouted the directive. He said the constituency elections were open to all qualified under the Party’s Constitution.
Nuworsu said the Executive Council meeting on Saturday also deliberated on constituency reports and selection of Parliamentary candidates for the 2004 general elections. Kwasi Owusu-Yeboa, Regional Minister, Kofi Dzamesi, Deputy Regional Minister, Kofi Boateng, Special Assistant, Alhaji Rashid Bawa, MP for Akan, Tommy Amematekpor, Presidential Aide, District Chief Executives and constituency chairmen attended the meeting.
