The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) says it has begun processes to find a replacement for its parliamentary candidate for Yapei-Kusawgu in the Savannah Region.
The replacement has become necessary because the party’s representative for the Yapei-Kusawgu constituency in the upcoming 2020 parliamentary polls, Abu Kamara, died in a car crash last Friday while returning to Tamale after inspecting a project in the constituency.
In a statement, the NPP said it has tasked its National Steering Committee to work towards getting a nomination for the constituency in line with the party’s regulation.
Already, campaign activities of the party in the Savannah Region have been put on hold following Abu Kamara’s unfortunate demise.
Regional party executives have also directed that all party flags should fly at half-mast. Abu Kamara reportedly crashed into an articulated truck and died on the spot at the Datoyili police barrier.
He died alongside an aide and one other passenger.
The crash occurred at about 10:39 pm on Friday night.
He was buried on Saturday, October 17, 2020, in accordance with Islamic customs.
