Former NPP Member of Parliament for the Ejisu constituency, Mr. Kwabena Owusu-Aduomi, who contested last Tuesday’s by-election as an Independent Candidate, fought fiercely to poll 21,534 votes (43.3%) of the total votes cast.
But his efforts were not enough to outrun NPP’s Lawyer Kwabena Boateng, who was officially declared the winner of Ejisu by-election with 55.8%.
Lawyer Boateng secured 27,782 to secure victory and become the MP-elect, amid allegations of vote buying and bribery by his campaign team.
Meanwhile, Beatrice Boakye of the Liberal Party had 140 votes, representing 0.3% whilst Esther Osei of the Convention People’s Party received 89 votes, representing 0.2%.
Independent Candidates Joseph Agyemang and Atakora Joseph had 222, representing 0.4% and 23 votes respectively.
The by-election followed the passing away of Member of Parliament and Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. John Ampontuah Kumah, on March 7, 2024.
