The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that the printing of ballot papers for September 2 upcoming Akwatia parliamentary by-election will officially start on Wednesday, August 20.

This was announcement was conveyed after an initial encounter with the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) in a crucial meeting today with representatives of political parties to discuss preventive measures against election-related violence and key security arrangements for the upcoming poll.

Addressing the media after the meeting, the Commission’s Director of Electoral Services, Benjamin Bano-Bioh, indicated that “as of now, we are going to start the printing of ballots from tomorrow.”

“Procurement has already been done. We have procured all the materials required for the election, so we are already,” he added.

This move comes in the wake of the sudden passing of Akwatia MP Ernest Yaw Kumi earlier this year, prompting a by-election to fill his seat in Parliament.

The late legislator, who represented the New Patriotic Party (NPP), died in July 2025, necessitating the electoral preparations.

At Tuesday’s event, the IGP engaged political parties in a briefing to outline critical security arrangements for the election.

Benjamin Bano-Bioh further explained that his outfit is “poised to deliver on our mandate in a professional way.”

“We call on political parties to play by the rules.”
