The National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of its parliamentary and presidential primaries, has released a breakdown of parliamentary candidates in each region.
The data shows that more people are contesting for parliamentary seats in the Greater Accra and the Ashanti regions than in the rest of the regions.
- A total of 356,024 voters are expected at 420 voting centres.
- Each voting centre is supposed to take a maximum of 1,200 delegates.
- A delegates list will be used at polling centres and a delegate will have to produce a valid national voters ID issued by the EC to be able to vote.
Whereas a total of 117 and 107 candidates are competing for seats in Accra and Kumasi respectively, the third most contested place is the Volta region with 75 candidates, 42 candidates fewer than Accra.

In the Ashanti region which has a total of 107 candidates, 100 of them will compete for 39 seats out of the 46 constituencies, with 7 going unopposed.
