In an interview with Citi News, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the NDC's Ashanti Regional Secretary, affirmed that the party will soon clarify its stance regarding participation in the election.

“We in the NDC are far ahead in terms of the processes leading into this by-election and we have a candidate already. We had not earlier come out with a firm stance on whether we were participating or not because we were hoping and waiting to hear the date and the declaration that the seat is vacant.

“So we are considering a lot of things on our desk and I am very sure that we will be guided by all the research work that has been done and I am sure that by Tuesday, we will be able to put to rest all the debate on whether we are contesting or not,” Dr. Amoakohene assured.
