Dramatic results see stalwarts stumble in NPP Parliamentary Primaries

Results of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Primaries are trickling in. Minority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, won his Suame seat in Kumasi and can contest the 2016 elections on the ticket of the NPP.

New entrants such as George Andah for Awutu Senya West in the Central Region and Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah for Ofoase Ayirebi in the Eastern region won their bids to contest on the ticket of NPP.

The results show surprises as many incumbent Members of Parliament lost their bid. At Sunyani East in the Brong Ahafo Region, the incumbent, Kwasi Ameyaw Cheremeh won with one vote difference. He got 388 as against 387 by his challenger George Kumi.

Isaac Osei for Subin lost to Eugene Antwi. Dr Richard Anane of Nhyiaeso also in Kumasi lost to Kennedy Kankam, a former Ashanti Regional Organiser of the party. 

Other casualties are Simon Osei Mensah for Bosomtwe, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto for Kwadaso, W.O. Boafo for Akropong, Edward Ennin for Obuasi East, Atta Boafo for Fomena, and Justice Joe Appiah for Ablekuma North, who all lost their bid to contest again on the NPP's ticket.  

Others are Esther Obeng Dappah for New Abirem, Gifty Eugenia Kusi for Tarkwa Nsuaem, Francis Addai Nimoh for Mampong, Kofi Frimpong for Kwabre East. Rosemund Comfort Abrah for Weija-Gbawe, Gifty Klenam of Lower West Akyem, Grace Addo for Manso Nkwanta, Henry Kwabena Kokofu for Bantama, Kwadwo Baah Agyemang for Asante Akyem North and Robert Sarfo Mensah for Asunafo North.
