Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has urged all candidates who lost the NPP parliamentary primaries to move forward and unite behind the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the 2024 elections.
In a congratulatory message shared on social media, the flagbearer of the NPP emphasized the importance of working closely with the winning candidates to make history.
On behalf of the @NPP_GH , I congratulate all those who have been elected today by the delegates of our party to participate in the December elections on the ticket of the NPP.
Tru News Report made a significant presence at Dome Kwabenya to provide exclusive coverage of the ongoing New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries.
Our dedicated reporter, Beatrice Mensah, had the opportunity to interview a former delegate named Godwin Yeboah, who shared some intriguing insights exclusively for our esteemed readers.
According to Mr. Yeboah, the prevailing sentiment among the constituents is that the incumbent MP, Sarrah Adwoa Safo, will not be reelected. He criticized Adwoa Safo for her alleged incompetence and neglect of the people in her constituency. As a result, Mr. Mike Oquaye Jr. will likely emerge as the victorious candidate.
Furthermore, Mr. Yeboah confirmed reports of delegates receiving gifts in an attempt to influence their votes. This revelation sheds light on the tactics employed by some candidates to secure support.
The parliamentary primaries are taking place at the Atomic Basket ballpark in the Dome Kwabenya Constituency, under strict security measures. Approximately 1,840 delegates are expected to cast their votes. The Ghana Police Service has deployed 150 personnel to ensure a smooth and secure voting process.
As the day progressed, more voters joined the queue, with officials coordinating the proceedings. The polls opened at 7:15 am and are scheduled to close at 2 pm. However, officials have assured that voters in the queue before the closing time will still be allowed to cast their votes.
