The Electoral Commission (EC) has set Tuesday, February 11, 2025, to conduct elections to elect Regional Representatives for the Council of State.
The exercise, as enshrined in accordance with Paragraph (C), Clause (2) of Article 89 of the 1992 Constitution will take place at venues to be determined by the Commission.
A Wednesday, January 22, 2025 statement from the Commission signed by its Chairperson, Jean Adukwei Mensa, invited interested persons who qualify to submit their nomination forms.
It asked that the said candidates should provide two recent bust-sized photographs against a red background, clearly showing their full face and ears.
The nomination forms further asked that the forms must be submitted to the Regional Directors of the respective regions between Tuesday, January 28, and Friday, January 31, 2025.
The forms, per the Commission’s directives, must also be proposed and seconded by two registered voters in the region and supported by 20 registered voters from the region with consent of the candidate for his/her nomination as a Member of the Council of State.
“Completed nomination forms must be delivered to the Regional Director of the Electoral Commission at the place designated for the receipt of the Nominations and at the time specified above,” part of the statement read.
Additionally, the EC noted that nomination forms can be downloaded from the Commission’s official website (www.ec.gov.gh) and must be completed in triplicate.
