An aspiring National Organizer of the opposition (NPP), Nana Kwadwo Yeboah, also known as Nana Kay, has suggested that the Electoral Commission (EC) should not waste time and resources conducting the Tamale Central by-election.

The young politician, who is also a member of the NPP's communication team and election directorate, argued that it makes neither financial nor political sense to hold an election where only one candidate is contesting.

According to him, the NPP has officially withdrawn from the race in honor of the late Dr Murtala Mohammed, who was among the seven people who died in the helicopter crash on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

Speaking in an interview on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Nana Kay said so far, only the NDC has expressed interest in the contest, with no other party or independent candidate showing interest.
