Voting is underway to select a parliamentary candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Akwatia Constituency in the Eastern region.

The voting took off smoothly on schedule in all the 22 designated polling stations.
In all a total of 8,000 members of the NDC are expected to cast their ballot in the keen election between the incumbent Member of Parliament, Mr. Baba Jamal and his only contender, Mr. Basile Ahiable, a businessman.

The election which should have taken place on November 21, last year was postponed by the national Executive Committee of the party due to the issue of insecurity due to inconsistencies in the voters register of the party.

There has not been any trouble as of now since voting started.

According to the regional secretary of the party, Mr. Mark Oliver Kevor, everything was going on peacefully without any hindrance.
