The race for the Tamale South parliamentary seat is heating up, as four new candidates step forward to challenge the long-serving incumbent, Haruna Iddrisu.

After two decades in Parliament, the former Minority Leader is seeking his sixth consecutive term representing this constituency.

The Tamale South constituency, a stronghold for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has consistently supported the party over the past 20 years.

Bordered by Tamale Central, Tamale North, Tolon, and Central Gonja, the constituency has repeatedly shown loyalty to the NDC, as data from the Channel One Research Unit shows.
