Special Voting: Hawa Koomson assigns herself with party agent role in Awutu Senya East

Awutu Senya East MP, Mavis Hawa Koomson, who is also contesting in this year’s elections has assigned herself as a party agent in the ongoing special voting event.

The MP who arrived early before the EC officially commenced the process had her name tag indicating that she was a party agent for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the constituency.

She told 3news.com that even though this marks the fourth consecutive time she’s contesting for the Awutu Senya East parliamentary seat, she doesn’t want to regard it as normal and wants to be part of all the processes.

“I am a party agent today. I want to be part of the entire process. I don’t want to take chances at all,” she said.

Hawa Koomson first contested the seat in 2012 after successfully winning the NPP’s internal elections and proceeded to beat the NDC’s Nuhu Adams who was the then MCE for the Awutu Senya East area.

She beat him again in the 2016 elections with a votes margin of over 11,000.

There was however, a sharp decline of the votes as the NDC’s candidate, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunnor managed to reduce the margin to 5,000. She is up again against Hawa Koomson in the ongoing elections.
