The main opposition party National Democratic Congress (NDC) has opened nominations in the Ashaiman Constituency for prospective aspirants to contest the forthcoming parliamentary primaries.

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, Ms. Zainab Mohammed, Deputy Communication Officer, NDC Ashaiman Constituency, said the party's decision to open the nominations again was due to sudden death of Mr. Emmanuel Max-Voy, a contender,

Ms Mohammed explained that nominations would be opened on Friday 16 August 2019 at 1300hours GMT and close on Monday 19 August 2019 at 1700 hours GMT adding that "vetting will commence immediately nominations close on Monday. "

Mr. Enerst Norgbe, Member of Parliament, in his response to the new development, said he welcomed the decision.
