“We cannot afford to have independent candidatures disrupt our party,” Ntim emphasized, urging voters to support the NPP’s Kwabena Boateng.

Hundreds of party loyalists gathered in Ejisu and other locations for final campaign events before the April 30 polls.

President Akufo-Addo, also campaigning in Ejisu, rebuked former NPP MP Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, now running as an independent candidate, dismissing his claims of election rigging.

Aduomi, once part of the NPP, accused the party of using intimidating tactics to secure victory in the upcoming by-election.

President Akufo-Addo questioned the fairness of Aduomi's accusations, citing his previous electoral successes under the NPP banner.

He also voiced concerns about hidden influences on Aduomi's campaign, suggesting undisclosed entities were vying to seize the seat from the NPP.

Tuesday’s by-election, the third in nearly a year, was prompted by the passing of incumbent MP John Ampontuah Kumah after a brief illness.
