Luv News checks reveal that whereas the Juaben Constituency election is being contested in court, there was no election of constituency executives at Mampong due to a court action.

It is unclear whether representatives of TESCON will be given a chance to cast their ballots after a letter from the National Appeals Committee directed infractions in TESCON register to be rectified.

The letter directed for a meeting to be held among the parties before the commencement of the election.
