EC announces April 7 for Jirapa by-elections
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, March 5, Ghanadot - The Electoral Commission has
announced April 7, 2009 as the date for the by- election in
the Jirapa Constituency of the Upper West Region.
The by-election follows the demise of the Member of
Parliament for the area, Edward Kojo Salia. The NDC MP and
onetime Transport and Communication Minister passed away
some few weeks ago.
His death creates a vacuum in Parliament, meaning the
Electoral Commission must organize a by-election within the
next 21 days in the Jirapa Constituency to replace him.
It will be the very first by-election in the country since
the NDC assumed political power. According to the EC,
nominations for the bye election would be received on the
17th and 18th of this month.
Public Affairs Director of the Electoral Commission,
Christian Owusu Parry told Citi FM that “nomination forms
are available at the district office and then at the
regional office in Wa so all who are interested, all
qualified individuals who are interested may pick their
forms from this time on and the get the people who are
supposed to support and second and then fill the forms and
submit the forms”.
Mr. Owusu Parry however noted that the filing fee had not
changed and thus remained at GHC 500 the amount charged
during the general elections in December last year.
He also noted that the Electoral Commission did not
anticipate encountering any difficulty during the period of
the by-election.
Some political observers have,
however, noted that this first by-election will offer
opportunity for the EC to further fine tune the electoral
process in order to free it of some alleged improprieties.
