Member of Parliament for Walewale, Hajia Lariba Zuwera Abudu, has formally withdrawn from the New Patriotic Party parliamentary primary rerun.
This information is contained in a press statement sighted by The Independent Ghana.
Her decision follows confusion at the re-run of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Walewale constituency parliamentary primary on Monday.
Following the disruption of the ballot sorting which led to the destruction of some ballot papers, the Electoral Commission (EC) has declared the Monday voting as null and void.
The EC has therefore referred the decision to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to take a decision on the way forward since it was an internal party event to select a nominee to contest the December parliamentary election on the ticket of the party.
The party will now have to take a decision to fix a new date for the election to be held immediately before the filing of nominations for the December 2024 parliamentary election in the Walewale constituency closes by the end of the week.
