An educationist Madam Gifty Twum
Ampofo has won the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary in
the Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region.
Madam Twum
Ampofo polled 207 to beat Mr. Kyei Brobbey, a former Headmaster of Ofori
Panin SHS and Mr. Isaac Osei Ampadu a businessman who polled 27 and 104
respectively.
Two persons who filed to contest the primary
pulled out. One of them, a former Member of Parliament for the
constituency, Prof Emeritus Samuel Kwadwo Amoako, threw his support
behind the only female in the race and the eventual winner.
The primary became necessary following the demise of the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, Joseph Boakye Danquah Adu.
The Electoral Commission has fixed March 29 for the by-election in the Abuakwa North Constituency.
The
Commission will start receiving nominations for the election between
March 1 and March 2 at the District Office of the Commission at Tafo in
the Eastern Region, from 9:00am to 12:00noon and2:00pm to 5:00pm both
days.
J. B Danquah was stabbed to death in his bedroom at his
resident in Accra on Tuesday February 9, 2016 by a 19-year old school
dropout, Daniel Asiedu, who is currently standing trial. |
