Accra, Jan. 21, 2026 – Political momentum is building in the Ayawaso East constituency following the death of its Member of Parliament. Members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) are rallying behind the late MP’s widow, urging her to step forward and contest the upcoming by-election.
Party insiders describe the call as both emotional and symbolic, reflecting the desire to honor the legacy of the late legislator while maintaining continuity in representation. Supporters argue that her candidacy would resonate strongly with constituents who shared a close bond with the late MP and his family.
The Ayawaso East seat became vacant after the sudden passing of the sitting MP earlier this month. The Electoral Commission is expected to announce the date for the by-election soon, setting the stage for what could be a highly contested race.
