Ejisu NPP Parliamentary Primary: All Nine Candidates Approved for Voting

The race for who replaces the late Dr. John Kumah as the Member of Parliament for the Ejisu Constituency has begun after a rigorous vetting exercise. With just seven days left for the primaries, each of the nine aspirants is convinced of victory based on earlier engagement with delegates.

All nine aspirants were cleared to contest in the April 13 primaries to elect who represents the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ejisu on the parliamentary ballot in the December 7 election.

“We’ve allowed an open exercise so that nobody will impute an idea of imposition of a candidate on the constituents. And so, as a party, we took the decision as long as prospective candidates meet article 94 of Ghana’s Constitution they will be allowed to be in the contest”, NPP Director of Elections, Evans Nimako told the media after the vetting.

After the balloting, Kwabena Boateng, a legal practitioner picked the number 1 spot, followed by Dr Evans Duah, a lecturer at Akenten Appiah Minkah University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development.
