The Electoral Commission (EC) has requested the withdrawal of the Constitutional Instrument (C.I.) on the creation of the Guan constituency, citing a lack of sufficient time to meet a constitutionally mandated 21-day period before Parliament’s recess.
The constituency, which encompasses the Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe, and Lolobi (SALL) traditional areas, was intended to allow residents to participate in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
However, the EC has determined that the necessary procedures cannot be completed within the required timeframe.
Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu confirmed the EC’s withdrawal request, stating that the decision was made due to the impending district-level election and the need to align the constituency creation with the election process.
