Chairman of Ghana's Constitutional Amendment Committee, H.
Kwasi Prempeh, has suggested that instead of a by-election, the political party that held the seat must be allowed to elect a replacement.
However, his opinion, which was expressed in a Facebook post, is limited to a vacancy that occurs 12 months of the last election.
His opinion is expressed in connection with the demise of Ernest Kumi and the subsequent contest on a yet-to-be-determined date by the Electoral Commission.
