The Electoral Commission (EC) says eligible voters in the Guan District of the Oti Region will not take part in the parliamentary election on Monday, December 7.
They will take part only in the presidential election.
This is because of the creation of the Guan District Assembly pending the creation of the Guan Constituency.
A statement issued by the EC on Sunday, December 6, explained that eligible voters in the Guan District would vote only in the presidential election in the Buem Constituency.
