The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially acclaimed Baba Ali Yussif as its parliamentary candidate for the upcoming Ayawaso East by-election, scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
The decision follows extensive consultations by the National Executive Committee (NEC) with key stakeholders, aimed at identifying a consensus candidate with the strongest prospects of winning the seat.
