In the Manhyia South Constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), private legal practitioner Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah emerged victorious in the party’s parliamentary primary held on Sunday, July 14.
Awuah secured 376 votes, defeating Nana Owusu Prempeh, brother to the outgoing MP, who received 141 votes.
Among the other contestants, Akwasi Coker Gyambibi received 2 votes, while James Owusu garnered 7 votes.
The primary was held to select a new candidate for the impending by-election following the selection of Manhyia South Member of Parliament Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the running mate to the NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Initially, five candidates picked forms to contest, but only four participated on the election day.
Manhyia South is a stronghold of the NPP, and it is expected that the primary winner will likely succeed in the main election to become the MP.
