Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said it will be opening nominations for the by-election in Kumawu constituency on April 11<\/b><\/p>\n

A statement issued said \u201cThe Party has approved detailed Rules and Regulations to govern the conduct of the parliamentary primary election which would be made available to stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, Nomination Forms will be available at the Constituency Party Office for purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is after the Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin declared the Kumawu Constituency as vacant.<\/p>\n

This followed the demise of Member of Parliament Philip Basoah.<\/p>\n

Philip Basoah died on Tuesday, March 28 after a short illness.<\/p>\n

He was said to have been in Parliament a week earlier, participating in proceedings of the House.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is so tragic. Hon. Basoah you were so active just last week in Parliament,\u201d tweeted colleague MP Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery calm & focused yet very active, especially on the Public Accounts Committee where you & I serve. Fare thee well, my brother. My deepest condolences to your family & Constituents. You served well.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, March 31, before the legislature proceeded on recess, Speaker Bagbin declared the seat vacant, informing the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) on initiating preparations to conduct a bye-election for constituents.<\/p>\n
