Deputy Finance Minister Retained as Atiwa East NPP Parliamentary Candidate
Abena Osei-Asare, the Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Atiwa East, has been re- elected as the parliamentary candidate on the New Patriotic Party’s ticket to contest the December 7 polls.
The incumbent polled 288 votes to defeat three other contenders who tried in their bid to unseat the hard working Deputy Minister.
The three others that attempted to unseat Abena Osei-Asare includes, Dr Banning, 11 votes, Eric Agyarko, 67 votes and Adade Wiredu, 44 votes.
The peaceful primary was supervised by the Electoral Commission.
Some political pundits expressed the views that it was significant for the delegates to maintain the incumbent MP to enable the party to retain the seat.
The Deputy Minister had worked satisfactorily and there was no need for any member of the party to contest her.
However the party believed in internal democracy and therefore could not stop anybody from contesting.
Prior to the primaries, the youth of the constituency who picked her nomination admitted the MP had a very good relationship with the constituents and the delegates have done what was expected.
Hon Osei-Asare expressed profound gratitude to the delegates for the confidence and trust reposed in her and assured that she would work with everyone to ensure peace and harmony.
The Deputy Interior Minister extended invitation to the defeated candidate and his supporters to join the team to work towards breaking the eight.
She said the internal elections were over and all campaign camps must be dissolved to assist the party to form one strong campaign team.
The MP believed that would help the party to defeat the NDC to continue the good works and improve the lives of the Atiwa East constituents.
