Delali Kwasi Brempong
Former parliamentary candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, Delali Kwasi Brempong, has been given the nod to lead the party in the upcoming by-election in the constituency.
This was after he had won the party’s parliamentary primary for the area, beating two other contenders, Selassie Agbo and Ekow Acquah.
While Delali Brempong polled 415 votes, Selassie Agbo and former constituency secretary Ekow Acquah got 115 and 119 votes respectively.
A communique issued by the party’s communication officer in the constituency, James Boso, indicated that Mr. Brempong had officially been declared the winner of the elections which took place at Englebert School at Roman Ridge on Friday.
Mr. Brempong, who contested in the last election for the parliamentary seat, lost to the governing New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko, who is now deceased.
The demise of Mr. Agyarko necessitated the by-election and saw a number of persons express interest in contesting the seat.
