The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has made it clear that it has not initiated any definitive actions to participate in the Ejisu by-election following the unfortunate passing of the Member of Parliament for the area, John Kumah.
The Deputy General Secretary of the party, Mustapha Gbande, emphasized that the NDC’s current focus is on mourning the loss of the MP rather than hastily pursuing the vacant seat.
Speaking to Citi News, Mr. Gbande urged NDC supporters in the constituency to remain patient, assuring them that the party will disclose its intentions regarding contesting the seat in due course.
“We all have to exercise restraint and look forward as the party comes up with the conversations that will lead up to a decision that will be in the best interest of the party, a decision that will give all of us the victory and expectation that we want.
“As of now, we are not there yet so we encourage party members to continue to work with structures of the party on the ground in anticipation of whatever will come from national. But as of now, we also encourage them to keep mourning with the family because we particularly mourn with the children of the late John Kumah.”
