Some constituencies which could not vote in the Saturday parliamentary primaries of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), on Saturday November 21, will be voting today [Sunday].
The National Organizer of the NDC, Kofi Adams, who confirmed this to Citi News, said this is as a result of anomalies and other irregularities identified during the voting process in the affected constituencies on Saturday.
“Constituencies like New Edubiase, Bosomtwi, Agona, Tepa and others, had shortages with parliamentary ballot papers so they have also suspended the entire voting and would also be voting on Sunday. So in the Ashanti Region, we are talking about 12 constituencies that will be voting. “In Greater Accra, only one constituency was suspended and they will have their right to vote on Sunday and that is Ningo Prampram,” he explained.

Suspension of polls in the Ashanti Region follows a similar action taken at the Ningo Prampram constituency after one of the aspirants, Sam George, alleged that his name and that of 3,000 others, had been deleted from the register.
That constituency is also expected to hold its elections on Sunday. The primary in the Kumbungu Constituency of the Northern Region was also postponed to Sunday after some aspirants questioned the credibility of the register and had 440 names expunged from it.
Meanwhile the parliamentary results for most of the constituencies were announced on Saturday with some incumbent MPs losing their seats to new entrants.
