Kwasi Bonzoh has emerged victorious in the NPP parliamentary primary election for Ellembelle constituency. This is his fourth successful attempt for the position.
The Ellembelle District Chief Executive polled 523 votes out of the total 790 votes cast, leaving his closest contender with 264 votes.
However, his multiple bid towards the seat in parliament has been unsuccessful after fierce contests against NDC’s Kofi Armah Buah.
Kwasi Bonzoh after his triumph has revealed his intentions to familiarize and reconcile with the constituency to increase his chances.
“Looking at the records we have here, and the leadership of our party, we believe we will capture the seat in 2024. Tomorrow we are starting the reconciliation; we will move to all the areas we didn’t do well.”, he told CitiNews.
In a similar delayed election, the Obuasi East MP Kwaku Kwarteng beat two contenders to become the NPP parliamentary candidate. He polled 440 votes, beating two contenders, including a former presiding member of the Obuasi Municipal Assembly, Lawrence Nana Obeng Bondah.
The New Patriotic Party currently has over 300 parliamentary candidates on the party’s ticket ahead of the 2024 general elections. These primaries were held in constituencies where the party has sitting MPs. The party previously selected parliamentary candidates in constituencies where it does not have sitting MPs on December 2, 2023.
