Former Deputy Finance Minister Kwaku Agyemang Kwarteng has retained his ticket to contest the December parliamentary election as parliamentary candidate-elect for the Obuasi West Constituency.
The January 27 primary in Obuasi West was put on hold following a court injunction.
Some aggrieved party members sought legal restriction on suspicion that the constituency’s album was not credible for the January primaries.
The plaintiffs withdrew the case days after filing a court injunction, paving the way for the primaries to be held on Saturday, February 10.
After the polls were closed, the incumbent Kwaku Agyemang Kwarteng secured 440 votes.
Faustina Oppong Sarfo had eight votes, with Lawrence Nana Obeng Bondah securing 245 votes.
Currently, the Asante Mampong Constituency is the only constituency left in the Ashanti Region to hold its primaries.
The incumbent and Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Kwaku Ampratwum Sarpong and the former Ashanti Regional Communication Director of the NPP, Dennis Kwakwa, await a court decision on the credibility of the Constituency’s album.
