Kwabena Boateng, the second Vice Chairman for the Ejisu Constituency, has emerged victorious as the New Patriotic Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for Ejisu ahead of the upcoming December elections.
Boateng secured 394 votes in Saturday’s primary, outperforming his closest competitor, Helena Mensah, who garnered 302 votes. Yaa Akyemaa Aboagye trailed with 229 votes.
Former GFA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, who had been hospitalized before the primary, received a minimal 35 votes.
Dr. Evans Duah polled 63 votes, Portia Acheampong Abronye got 6 votes, Klinsman Karikari Mensah and Aaron Prince Duah garnered 2 votes respectively. Jacqueline Abena Pokua Amoah-Boaitey scored zero.
A total of 1081 delegates played a pivotal role in determining the future candidate to represent the New Patriotic Party in the upcoming by-election in the Ejisu Constituency. However, the process was tarnished by allegations of vote buying, instances of double voting, and some delegates attempting to capture screenshots of their cast ballots.
The parliamentary primary was necessitated by the passing of the Member of Parliament for Ejisu, John Ampontuah Kumah.
Campaign activities intensified throughout the week, with aspirants actively engaging with delegates in an effort to secure their votes.
