Nadowli-Kaleo NDC Executives Congratulate Anthony Sumah On His Victory

The Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has extended a congratulatory message to the newly elected parliamentary candidate elect, Anthony Sumah Mwinkaara.

He pulled a surprise by winning the Nadowli-Kaleo Parliamentary primaries decisively.

Seven candidates contested the Nadowli-Kaleo seat but Anthony pulled 374 out of the total 875 total vote cast making him the winner.

The Nadowli-Kaleo seat has been held by NDC with the current second Deputy Speaker, Hon Alban Bagbin occupying the seat since 1992, making him the longest serving Member of Parliament in Ghana's political history.

Hon Alban Bagbin has bowed out honorably after many years of occupying an enviable political niche. Many young politicians saw this as an opportunity to "try their luck" but Anthony Sumah Mwinkaara has become the "royal Prince" of the cherished seat of the Nadowli-Kaleo.

In a statement signed by the communication officer of the National Democratic Congress on the Nadowli-Kaleo, Sylvester Biekpe, the executive committee called on all aspirants to put aside their political differences and support the Parliament candidate.

They described the overwhelming confidence reposed in Anthony as "a social contract with the entire NDC family to retain the most cherished and valuable asset of the party, Nadowli-Kaleo seat."

Below is the statement:
