The candidates contesting are; 42-year-old Robert Alibo, a field coordinator for USAID-Spring Project, 51-year-old Thomas Duanab Wuni, an accountant and lawyer with Nsawam Government Hospital  and 50-year-old William Zoogah, a retired accountant.

Voting began at 8:55am on Sunday and it is scheduled to end at 3pm.

There is heavy joint Police-Military presence at the voting grounds.
