Accra, Dec. 29, GNA - The Electoral Commission has postponed the Unit Committee and District Assembly elections in some electoral areas of the Dangme West District.

A press release issued by the EC and signed by Mr Christian Owusu-Parry, acting Director, Public Affairs, on Tuesday, named the electoral areas as Salom, Zongo New Town, Akutue, Osukutu, Amedeka and Bungalow.

The release said the postponement "is as a result of a matter filed by Charles Mate Kole and Nene Azago Kwesitsu I, against the Electoral Commission and the Attorney General, in the Supreme Court for determination as to whether the six electoral areas belong to the Lower Manya Krobo District or the Dangme West District."

The Commission, the release said, will fix a new date for the elections after the Supreme Court has determined the issue.
