Leader of the major opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has arrived in the Northern Regional capital of Tamale and is headed to Talensi in the Upper East Region ahead of the July 7 by-elections.
He joins other politically-heavy persons who have taken over the town ahead of what promises to be a fiercely contested parliamentary election.
The Electoral Commission has set July 7 for the by-election which has become necessary following the resignation of the former NPP MP Robert Nachinab Mosore who was enskined as Tongo Chief under the name Tongorana Kubilsong Nalebegtan.
The NDC and NPP have former Deputy Director of the Ghana Prison Service B.T Baba and an Nsawam Government hospital worker Thomas Zoanad Wuni as their respective candidates.
With few days to go for the election, the constituency has seen intense political activity as high ranking government officials including the Vice President, Paa Kwesi Amissah Arthur and NPP running mate Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia have all stormed the area to campaign for their candidates.
The two parties have accused each other of vote buying.
