The current Member of Parliament (MP) for the Akropong constituency, Nana Dokua Ama Asiamah, has won the Okaikoi North parliamentary primaries to represent the Okaikoi North constituency in the 2024 elections.
She polled 331 votes to beat Five other Contenders.
Below is the final results
Nana Dokua Asiamah-331
Kofi Nyarko-105
Ken Kuranchie -27
Owusu Mensah -6
Afia Akoto-228
Fuseini Issah-114
Meanwhile Ken Kuranchie has stated that two of his contenders Afia Akoto and Nana Dokua don’t qualify to contest in the primaries.
He explained that the free and fairness of an election is not an event but a process adding that allowing the two female Aspirants to contest meant the process is not free and fair.
The Ace Journalists and Lawyer disclosed to the media at the primary grounds.
He explained further that Afia Akoto for instance became a card bearing member of the NPP in 2023 which he said is an automatic disqualification.
In the case Nana Ama Dokua, the Managing Editor of the Daily Searchlight said she does not meet the requirements that qualifies her to contest owing to her sudden switch from Akropong to this Constituency.
