National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has urged voters in Ayawaso East Constituency to turn out in their numbers to vote for the party’s parliamentary candidate, Baba Ali Yussif, in the March 3, 2026 by-election.

According to an adomonline.com report on February 27, 2026, Nana B described Baba Ali as a homegrown candidate with strong ties to the constituency.

He stated that the aspirant has lived, worked, and taught in the area, giving him firsthand knowledge of the daily challenges residents face.

“Baba Ali Yussif is your brother. He sleeps with you, he wakes up with you, and he has taught in this constituency before. He was born here; the food you all eat is the same food he eats. Don’t bring in any stranger. This is your brother. Even after you vote for him, he will still be here, available and with you,” he said.

The by-election follows the death of the sitting Member of Parliament, Mahama Naser Toure, passed away on Sunday, January 4, 2026, while receiving treatment at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Five candidates are contesting to succeed him, including former High Commissioner to Nigeria Baba Jamal, independent candidates Alhaji Mohammed Umaru Sanda, David Kannor and Ibrahim Iddrisu of the Liberal People’s Party (LPP).
