Concerned delegates in Ketu North have asked Ghana's largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to hold fresh elections in the district. The NDC, however, has rejected their request.

In response to complaints from NDC delegates who were upset that a victor was proclaimed without a second round of voting during the party's primary elections, the party leadership took action.

Mustapha Gbande, the NDC's deputy general secretary, said that the party made a definitive decision in front of the two candidates and the party chairman.

Mustapha said the party has advanced and is preparing the parliamentary candidate to win the Ketu North seat in a citinewsroom.com story. Adding that the party is well aware that demands for reelection are just attempts at reconciliation of such petition.

"The parties engaged in the contentious primary were there with their attorneys, as well as the party's national chairman. Then, we issued a firm decision on the issue, designating Edem Agbana as the duly elected parliamentary candidate for Ketu North. Since we are not even aware of any petition of this sort and no such item has been submitted to our office, any other problem would be seen as a reconciliation endeavor. The party has advanced, and we are now putting the chosen candidate in a position to take the seat, said Gbande.

In the NDC primary elections on May 13, Edem Agbana, the candidate for Ketu North's parliamentary seat, and John Adanu tied for the most votes.

They each had 360 votes each following the discovery of three unstamped ballots.
