Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwesi Nyantakyi lost in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ejisu parliamentary primary, polling a miserable 35 votes.

Dr Evans Duah polled 63 votes, Portia Acheampong Abronye got 6 votes, and Klinsman Karikari Mensah and Aaron Prince Duah garnered 2 votes respectively. Jacqueline Abena Pokua Amoah-Boaitey scored zero.
A total of 1081 delegates participated in deciding the fate of nine aspirants competing to represent the New Patriotic Party in the forthcoming by-election in the Ejisu Constituency.
The process, however, was marred with allegations of vote buying, double voting and some delegates attempting to take screenshots of their cast ballots.
The party conducted the parliamentary primary following the demise 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.
