Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, shocked Majority Leader of Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu in the NPP presidential primary, pulling in a significant number votes in Suame Constituency.
Mr. Agyapong managed to secure 389 votes, which is way beyond what Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu had projected for him.
Even though the latter had predicted 20% of total votes cast for Agyapong, he managed to secure 40% of the total votes cast, with Dr. Bawumia garnering 511 votes in the constituency.
Over 200,000 party delegates voted in the crucial election which is a pivotal step in breaking the eight-year election cycle pattern in Ghana.
The delegates, who make up the Electoral College comprise Members of Parliament, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives, ministers and their deputies, foundation members of the NPP, members of the party’s National Council and patrons and council of elders.
The rest are regional party officers, constituency officers, constituency patrons, constituency elders, electoral area coordinators, polling station executives, overseas branches and members of Tescon, the tertiary students’ wing of the party.
