Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has expressed confidence that his party will emerge victorious in the upcoming Akwatia by-election.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Gbande said the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has lost the trust of Ghanaians due to a lack of development in the constituency and growing national disillusionment.
“We will win the Akwatia by-election. There is no development there. The Peace Council should intervene ahead of the elections to avoid any form of violence,” he stated.

The by-election was triggered by the death of the sitting MP, Ernest Yaw Kumi, creating a vacancy in the Akwatia constituency.
The Electoral Commission is yet to announce a date for the polls.
Ernest Kumi died on July 7.
Mr Kumi, a member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), was widely respected across the House for his insight and commitment to parliamentary work.
His passing has been described as a significant loss to both the NPP and Parliament, where his contributions, particularly on issues of national development and governance, will be sorely missed.
