Ekow Quansah Hayford
Mr Ekow Kwansah Hayford, hitherto, the NPP’s Parliamentary nominee for Election 2020 was killed last Friday by suspected armed robbers had filed his nomination with the Electoral Commission on Thursday, October 8, 2020.
He had filed his nomination with the Electoral Commission on Thursday, October 8, 2020 seeking re-election in the December 7 election when the unfortunate incident occurred.
In line with Section 4 of the Public Elections Regulations 2020, C.I. 127, which states that: “Where at the close of nominations, but before the election, one of the candidates dies, a further period of 10 days shall be allowed for nominations,” the NPP then initiated the move for a replacement.
NPP
This follows a similar move taken by the NPP after Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency late Emmanuel Agyarko passed away where his wife Lydia Alhsasan was named as his replacement.
Lydia won the seat and it appears the NPP sees using widows as a winning strategy otherwise why would they repeat it again?
