Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Majority Chief Whip and the incumbent Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri, is optimistic about his chances in the constituency’s primary elections.
After casting his vote, he expressed his confidence in carrying the day and predicted a victory with more than 80% of the total votes.
Competing against Hayford Siaw, the CEO of the Ghana Library Authority, Mr. Annoh-Dompreh remains positive about his prospects.
He commented on the voting process, noting the high turnout and the smooth progression of the election.
He shared his experience of insisting on going through the regular voting queue, and refusing any special treatment, and praised the absence of significant issues during the voting process.
The NPP parliamentary primaries kicked off in constituencies with sitting MPs across the country today ahead of the December polls.
In the lead-up to the primaries, there was a series of injunctions that characterised the vetting processes.
The party in 2023 elected parliamentary candidates in its orphan constituencies.
Some sitting MPs who are going on unopposed have been acclaimed in their various constituencies. Their counterparts declared their intentions not to seek re-elections, citing different reasons.
The decisions by these influential MPs, some political activists and stakeholders argue, will negatively affect the activities in Parliament.
Many new faces have emerged in the race, hoping to win the primaries to represent the constituencies they find themselves in.
The incumbent MPs seeking re-elections, however, hope to win the primaries to propel them to the 2024 general elections.
