The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has announced that a parliamentary by-election for the Tamale Central Constituency will be held on September 30, 2025.

The by-election has been necessitated by the tragic death of the sitting Member of Parliament, Murtala Muhammed Ibrahim.

In a press release issued today, the EC stated that the vacancy triggers the constitutional requirement under Article 112 (5) to elect a new representative.

Prospective candidates are invited to pick up their nomination forms from the Commission's website, www.ec.gov.gh, starting today, August 19, until September 10, 2025.
