The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed that the printing of ballot papers for the upcoming Akwatia parliamentary by-election will officially commence on Wednesday, August 20.
This was announced after the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) convened a crucial meeting today with representatives of political parties to discuss preventive measures against election-related violence and key security arrangements for the upcoming poll.
This move comes in the wake of the sudden passing of Akwatia MP Ernest Yaw Kumi earlier this year, prompting a by-election to fill his seat in Parliament.
The late legislator, who represented the New Patriotic Party (NPP), died in July 2025, necessitating the electoral preparations.
At Tuesday’s event, the IGP engaged political parties in a briefing to outline critical security arrangements for the election.
