The outcome of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primary in Ejisu has marked a significant political development as Kwabena Boateng has emerged victorious.
Finding the party’s representative for the next by-election depended heavily on the outcome of the primary, which ended today, April 13, 2024.
With 394 votes, renowned private attorney Kwabena Boateng, the NPP’s Second Vice Chairman for the Ejisu Constituency, led the contenders.

Competition Overview
He beat out several other candidates in an intense competition of nine, including his closest competitor, Helena Mensah, who garnered 302 votes.
Dr. Evans Duah and Portia Acheampong Abronye, two other contenders, garnered 63 and six votes, respectively.
Additionally, Yaa Akyemaa Aboagye performed admirably, garnering 229 votes. Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi, who had health issues shortly before the election, received 35 votes in the meantime.

The remaining candidates, Aaron Prince Duah and Klinsman Karikari Mensah, each received two votes, while Jacqueline Abena Pokua Amoah-Boaitey did not receive any.
Voter Participation and Dedication
1081 delegates cast ballots in the primaries, indicating high voter turnout. The by-election was necessitated by the loss of late MP John Kumah on March 7, 2024, and the delegate’s dedication to selecting a candidate who can carry on his legacy is reflected in this turnout.
After winning, Kwabena Boateng thanked the delegates for their confidence and support.

He promised to properly represent the people of Ejisu if elected in the next parliamentary by-election, which is set for April 30, 2024, and dedicated his victory to the late John Kumah.
