Electoral violence is fast becoming a dangerous stain on Ghana’s democratic record. Once seen as isolated incidents, violent disruptions are now a recurring feature of our elections. The question remains: how do we confront this growing canker before it weakens our democracy beyond repair?

TV3 reports that Mr. Salia Kamara is a staunch member of the NPP and also a financier of the party in the constituency.

The party’s executives said he was chosen to replace his late brother due to his influence in the constituency.

Mr. Salia Kamara will officially file his nomination on Tuesday, October 27, 2020, ahead of the December polls.

This comes after the NPP earlier confirmed that Mrs. Ophelia Hayford, the wife of Ekow Hayford, will replace the deceased legislator as the party’s parliamentary candidate for the Mfantseman constituency.

Mr. Ekow Hayford was shot dead three weeks ago by some assailants while returning from a campaign trip.
