Constituents of the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency in the Greater Accra Region are currently divided over who to replace the late Member of Parliament for the constituency, Emmanuel Kyeremanteng Agyarko.
This is because a section of the constituents are reportedly clamouring for his widow, Lydia Agyarko, while others are also in favour of Josephine Nana Baiden Agyarko, who is believed to be the current and second wife of the late MP.
Meanwhile, National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has called for calm in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency as they prepare for the constituency's by-election
According to him, this is not the time for agitations as the party should be more united and committed than ever for a resounding victory during the by-elections.
