A total of 155 candidates from all 16 regions of Ghana have submitted their nominations to contest for positions in the upcoming Council of State elections, scheduled for today, February 11.
These highly anticipated elections play a vital role in Ghana's governance structure, determining regional representatives who will advise President John Dramani Mahama on critical national issues.
The Electoral Commission (EC) has disclosed that the aspirants comprise 145 males and 10 females, underscoring a notable gender disparity in the competition.
Although the number of female candidates remains relatively low, their involvement signifies a step toward enhancing women's representation in national decision-making bodies.
