The Electoral Commission (EC) has withheld the conduct of the Unit Committee Elections in six out of the 29 Electoral Areas (EAs) in the upcoming District Level Elections (DLEs) in the Nkoranza South Municipality of the Bono East Region.
This means the EC will hold the Unit Committee Elections in only 23 EAs in the municipality, Anthony Manu, the Nkoranza South Returning Officer of the EC, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview on Friday.
According to him, the six affected EAs, comprising 41 polling stations, were unable to present the minimum of more than five candidates required for the conduct of the elections.
Nonetheless, Manu said the DLEs would be conducted in all 29 EAs, comprising 162 polling stations.
