The Electoral Commission has convened an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting as part of preparations for the upcoming Ayawaso East by-election. In a notice dated February 6, 2026, addressed to the General Secretaries of all registered political parties, the Commission announced that the meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at its headquarters in Accra.
The agenda, it stated, will focus solely on the conduct and organisation of the Ayawaso East by-election. Political parties have been instructed to restrict their representation to two delegates each.
The letter was signed by Dr Bossman Eric Asare, Deputy Chairperson of the Commission responsible for Corporate Services, acting on behalf of the EC Chairperson. Interest in the Ayawaso East contest has intensified in recent days, largely due to developments within the National Democratic Congress, including allegations of vote buying during its internal parliamentary primary.
