NDC Tema East opens parliamentary slot again after candidate disappears

This is due to the absence of the elected parliamentary candidate, Ashai Odamtten, who has been out of the jurisdictions since September 2019.

In a letter sighted by GhanaWeb, the Regional Secretary, Theophilus Tetteh Chai, tasked the Executive Committee to “meet and nominate three candidates for consideration for the Tema East Parliamentary elections.”
