Accreditation for candidates' agents and monitors started yesterday and continues today.

A total of 106,812 registered voters are expected to participate across 204 polling stations. Security measures have been increased, with all stations considered potential hotspots.

Dr. Quaicoe mentioned that training for electoral officials was completed last Friday, ensuring readiness for a fair election. The CPP's interlocutory injunction against the EC, filed at the Kumasi High Court, will not be pursued, easing concerns.

Six candidates are contesting, including three Independents and three party candidates. Esther Osei (CPP), Kwabena Boateng (NPP), and Beatrice Boakye (LPG) are among the contenders.

The by-election follows the passing of the former MP, John Ampontuah Kumah, earlier this year. The outcome will determine the new constituency representative, with potential implications for the political landscape.
