The Delegates are expected to elect parliamentarians out of a total of 45 candidates who have been cleared in the Region to contest the 2020 parliamentary elections should they get the nod from delegates.
The NDC Regional Director of Elections, Mr Donatus Nyaaba who made this known to Graphic Online today, August 24, 2019, intimated that the only challenge they had was the delay in starting the voting in some of the centres. He, however, expressed optimism that the exercise will be successful.
