In the politically charged atmosphere of Sissala East Constituency in the upper west region , a crucial electoral showdown looms between Mohammed Issah Bataglia of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the incumbent MP, Amidu Issahaku Chinnia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Both seasoned contenders are set for a fierce battle in the upcoming election, each confident in securing victory.
Sissala East, known for its dynamic political landscape, has alternated between NDC and NPP victories, with each party winning twice since the constituency’s inception in 2004. The People’s National Convention (PNC) has also made significant inroads, winning the constituency three times. Notably, Sissala East has yet to retain the same MP across consecutive elections, marking it as one of the most unpredictable constituencies in the Upper West Region.

Mohammed Issah Bataglia, seeking a comeback after narrowly losing to Chinnia in the 2020 election by a mere 872 votes, has been vocal about the need for change. Bataglia has criticized Chinnia’s performance, arguing that the constituency deserves better representation and more substantial development progress.
Amidu Issahaku Chinnia, the incumbent MP, counters these claims by pointing to his achievements since assuming office. He emphasizes his work on local projects and insists that his track record speaks for itself, positioning himself as the candidate who best represents the people’s interests.
As the campaign trail intensifies, supporters from both camps have shown a high level of engagement and passion. Rallies and community engagement dominate the constituency, as each side seeks to sway undecided voters. The atmosphere in Sissala East is electric, with constituents expressing hopes for improved infrastructure, healthcare, and educational resources.
The Sissala East election carries implications that extend beyond local representation. A win for the NDC could reinforce their standing in a historically swing region, while an NPP victory could signal increased foothold in northern Ghana. This pivotal race reflects a larger national trend, underscoring the importance of leadership that resonates with the needs and aspirations of the people.
As the election date approaches, all eyes in the Upper West Region—and indeed, across Ghana—are on Sissala East. The choice before the constituents of Sissala East will have lasting consequences, shaping not just their community’s future but potentially influencing broader national political dynamics.
Will the constituency retain Chinnia for continuity, or will Bataglia’s promise of change sway voters in his favor?
