Former MUSIGA President – Obour Bice has reacted to his defeat in the Asante Akyem South NPP parliamentary primaries. A video had him showered with powder indicating that he was jubilating before he heard about his defeat after the final collision was done.
He lost to the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) Kwaku Asante-Boateng. While Obour had 296 votes, Mr. Asante-Boateng polled 360 votes to claim the sit. Speaking on his defeat, Obour said:
He said Kwaku Asante-Boateng showed that he is an experienced politician. Obour explained that his result wasn’t bad and that the incumbent used tricks that he didn’t have as a first-timer to defeat him.
However, Obour pledged his support for the winner and promised victory for Nana Addo in their constituency. NPP delegates have voted to elect parliamentary candidates for 168 constituencies.
This exercise is the second phase after the first phase of the primaries came off in September 2019 in constituencies with no sitting Members of Parliament. A total of 374 aspirants contested in the 168 constituencies. Out of the 374 persons, 325 are men while 51 are women.
