The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that the Nkoranza North and Nkoranza South district level elections will be conducted in April 16, 2021.
This comes after the expiration of the term of office of the Assembly and Unit Committee members of the two districts.
The Commission has therefore asked interested candidates to pick up their nomination forms from the EC’s website or at the district offices in the two areas.
A statement from the EC further pointed out that all enquiries related to these elections should be addressed to the district offices within the areas mentioned.
