The shortlisted candidates consisted of three individuals from each Assembly, comprising of nine women and 45 men.
In a press statement dated January 31 and signed by the Acting Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Bright Kwashie Ege, the party announced the completion of the vetting process.
