NDC Tema East opens parliamentary slot again after candidate disappears

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has opened slots for three candidates to file nomination for consideration as the parliamentary candidate for the Tema East Constituency.

This is due to the absence of the elected parliamentary candidate, Ashai Odamtten, who has been out of the jurisdictions since September 2019.

In a letter sighted by GhanaWeb, the Regional Secretary, Theophilus Tetteh Chai, tasked the Executive Committee to “meet and nominate three candidates for consideration for the Tema East Parliamentary elections.”

The Parliamentary candidate for Team East Constituency, left the country for the US in September 2019 which was just two weeks after the parliamentary primaries of the party and has since not returned back to Ghana.

Ashai Odamtten served as the Chief Executive of the Tema Municipal Assembly in the previous Mahama administration.
