The postponement was officially communicated by the party leadership in response to a letter from the area's Member of Parliament, O. B. Amoah, who announced his decision to withdraw from the race.
The Concerned Members and Polling Station Executives group met at Aburi to express their dissatisfaction with the delay in setting a date for the upcoming general elections.
Seth Frimpong, the group's convenor, highlighted the possible negative consequences of the delay on the party's chances in the elections. He emphasised the need for early preparations to avoid any unnecessary setbacks in the run-up to the 2024 General Election.

In their plea, the group also urged the party leadership to intervene promptly, expressing concerns about the potential loss of the seat to opponents if immediate action is not taken.
