An ardent critic of the Akufo-Addo government Martin Kpebu has expressed delight that soon President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will be leaving office after the 2024 general elections. In his view, it will be eight lost years under the Akufo-Addo administration
Contributing to a discussion on the upcoming by-election in Assin North while speaking on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, June 3, the private legal practitioner who has accused President Akufo-Addo of failure said “I’m so excited that in about 16 months, Akufo-Addo will be going. I can’t believe we have lost 8 years just like that.” The Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) selected Tuesday, June 27 as the date for the by-election.
The seat was declared vacant by the Clerk of Parliament, Cyril Kwabena Oteng Nsiah, after the Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, wrote to notify the Speaker on the decision of the Supreme Court on Wednesday, May 17. “The filing fee for the election is Ten Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢10,000.00) per candidate,” the Chairperson, Jean Mensa, said in the press release. “All completed nomination forms are expected to be delivered in quadruplicate.”
