Felix Kwakye Ofosu has failed in his bid to enter Parliament on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He lost his contest in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese constituency to Elvis Morris Donkoh of the New Patriotic Party by 176 votes.
The former deputy Communications Minister was gracious in defeat and congratulated his main contender in a post on Facebook.
“I am also deeply grateful to all of you out there who supported my bid in diverse ways.”
It was so close yet so far for me. I lost by 176 votes. Congratulations Elvis Morris Donkor and better luck to me next…

Francis Eghan of the Ghana Union Movement polled 1,001 votes.
