The second Vice Chairman for the Ejisu Constituency, Kwabena Boateng has clinched victory as the New Patriotic Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for Ejisu in the upcoming December elections.
Boateng secured an impressive 394 votes in Saturday’s primary, surpassing his closest rival, Helena Mensah, who garnered 302 votes. Yaa Akyemaa Aboagye trailed with 229 votes.
Notably, former GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi, who had been hospitalized before the primary, received a minimal 35 votes.
Dr. Evans Duah polled 63 votes, while Portia Acheampong Abronye received 6 votes. Klinsman Karikari Mensah and Aaron Prince Duah each garnered 2 votes. Jacqueline Abena Pokua Amoah-Boaitey scored zero.
A total of 1081 delegates participated in the primary to determine the NPP’s candidate for the forthcoming by-election in the Ejisu Constituency.
However, the process was marred by allegations of vote buying, double voting, and some delegates attempting to capture screenshots of their cast ballots.
The party conducted the parliamentary primary following the passing of the Member of Parliament for Ejisu, John Ampontuah Kumah.
Throughout the week, campaign activities were fervent as aspirants diligently engaged with delegates to secure their votes.
