Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, Peter Yaw Kwakye-Ackah has served notice of withdrawing as independent candidate in the upcoming election. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) lawmaker had served notice of contesting the December 7, 2024 parliamentary election as an independent candidate. He was therefore one of the four MPs whose seats were declared vacant by the Speaker of Parliament that the Supreme Court eventually declared as unconstitutional.
In a release to announce his withdrawal, the MP stated, “Pursuant to the decision by the High Court and the Electoral Commission to clear the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for this year’s election, I believe that my reasons for filing to contest the election as an independent candidate are no longer tenable”, he said in a statement.
He added that, he would like to thank the Elders of the party and other leading members of the party for their invaluable counsel that has led to this decision in the supreme interest of the party.
“Long live the NDC, long live Amenfi Central, long live Ghana”, he added.
