The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has defended its decision to postpone elections in the Akuapem South constituency, stating the need for additional time to resolve ongoing issues in the constituency.
This follows a petition from the regional party executives and the withdrawal of Minister of State Osei-Bonsu Amoah, which made it possible for the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) to contest.
The MCE had been barred from running due to the candidacy of the incumbent MP.
The NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, said the postponement was the best decision for the Akuapem South constituency, given the circumstances.
“We are satisfied with the reason given to us by the region and constituents. They say they need more time to do more consultation to properly advise the party. I want us to stick with that,” he said.
