On Sunday, April 23, 2023, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will hold elections to choose a parliamentary candidate to run on the party's ticket in the Kumawu Constituency By-Election in the Ashanti Region.
Before sine die adjourning for the Easter break, Parliament alerted the Electoral Commission (EC) of the necessity to hold a by-election in the Kumawu constituency due to the passing of Philip Basoa, the NPP MP for the region.
The by-election date has not yet been set by the EC.

a one-week holiday
The one-week commemoration of the death of the MP for Kumawu will take place on April 27, 2023, according to a report from Kumawu by Kwadwo Baffoe Donkor.
When several NPP leaders paid the family a visit to express their condolences over the MP's passing, the family's head of household, Asiedu Basoa, who is also the deceased's older brother, made the announcement.
By the time the one-week observation was held, Mr. Boasah said, the family hoped that the appropriate discussions would have taken place and "we would have agreed on the date for the burial and final funeral rites."
He said that the loss of Philip Basoah was a significant shock to the family and that "we are still coming to terms with it."
