Mohammed Abass - NDC Candidate For Bimbilla

The National Democratic Congress said on Monday that Mr Mohammed Abass, a tutor at Bimbilla Training College, has been elected to contest the Bimbilla parliamentary seat in next month's bye-election.

A statement signed by Alhaji Huudu Yahaya, NDC General Secretary, said Mr Abass was elected at a well-attended Constituency Conference held at Bimbilla last Thursday. The Electoral Commission conducted the voting.

"Now that Mr Abass has been elected as our candidate for Bimbilla, the NDC is all set to do battle at Bimbilla, to ensure that the Bimbilla seat is retained and stays with the NDC where it properly belongs."

The statement said delegates of the 103 branches of the party in the constituency, the youth and women's wings, members of the Progressive Alliance and other observers attended.

The statement said Members of the National Executive Committee, including Alhaji Yahaya and Dr. Obed Asamoah and NDC regional executives in the region attended.

The seat became vacant after the MP, Dr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas, resigned following his election as Executive Secretary of the Economic Community of West African States.
