Takoradi, Aug. 22,
GNA – The Western Regional Office of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has
announced the Party’s readiness to conduct primaries for delegates in six out
of 17 constituencies in the Region come Saturday, August 24.
Mr Japheth Baidoo,
the Regional Organiser, said parliamentary aspirants had already been engaged
by the vetting and appeals committees to ensure a smooth process.
Prestea Huni-Valley,
Wassa East and Effia went unopposed while the rest had been put on hold for a
later date, he said.
The Saturday
elections would, therefore, be conducted in Shama, Sekondi, Jomoro, Ahanta
West, Amenfi Central and Amenfi West between 0700 hours and 1700 hours.
The Regional
Organiser said the putting on hold of some of the constituencies was in the
interest of the Party and the candidates as a whole.
This year’s primaries
would have the format of the national elections where ballot boxes are placed
in strategic locations for voters to cast their ballots.
Mr Baidoo,
therefore, encouraged all delegates to vote within the stipulated time and that
adequate arrangements had been made for security.
