Dr Archibald Yao Letsa, was on Saturday elected as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2012 parliamentary candidate for the Ho-Central constituency.
The 53-year-old medical director of the Miracle Life Clinic in
Ho, polled 372 votes to beat Mr Ronald Fiakpui, 38, a Marine
Administrator, who had 62 votes.
A total of 185 voters out of the 620 delegates, failed to vote.
There were some quite tense moments at the generally orderly
elections, when the losing candidate, Mr Fiakpui, protested the
ineligibility of a delegate, resulting in verbal exchanges between him
and a constituency executive.
Another heady moment was a confrontation between some supporters
of the two candidates, outside the Ho-Depot Saint Francis of Assisi
Catholic Church, venue for the primaries, over allegations that some
Constituency Executives were seen openly campaigning for Dr Letsa.
