On the other end of the spectrum, Akatsi North had the fewest number of aspirants with just four, while Akatsi South had six, and Adaklu and Agotime Ziope each had eight.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has issued a statement tasking the regional vetting committee to ensure that all applicants meet the eligibility criteria for Members of Parliament as outlined in Article 94(3) (c) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
