Afrifa Mensah <\/strong><\/p>\n

Akwasi Owusu
\nAfrifa is the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Amasaman
\nconstituency.<\/p>\n

Mr. Afrifa who is also the Deputy Director of Finance for Ghana National School Feeding Programme as vowed to win the Amasaman Constituency seat for the ruling party come 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking in an
\ninterview with the media after his victory he pleaded with the electorate to
\ncome together as one in their quest to snatch the seat from the National
\nDemocratic Congress (NDC).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning the
\nseat does not require someone who has been present mostly in the elections.
\nSometimes it needs a new face. I don\u2019t hold any bad record so I believe we can
\nmove forward. I am a God-fearing person and humbled and I strongly believe the
\npeople of Amasaman will vote for me when they get to know my behavior, so we
\ncan strip the seat from the NDC\u201d he emphasized.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said he would
\nlobby for developmental projects for the area as he believed they were far
\nbehind when it came to development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Director of
\nElections and Research for NPP, Evans Nimako, who monitored the parliamentary
\nprimary held over the weekend, also said the Amasaman Constituency was the only
\norphan constituency in Greater Accra without a candidate.<\/p>\n

He said the party
\nwas enthusiastic and firm after conducting their elections; he was hopeful that
\nthe NPP will marshal the needed forces to win the seat.<\/p>\n

According to him,
\nit doesn\u2019t take a candidate to win an election but it takes the whole NPP
\nmachinery and thinks with the kind of unity exhibited they will win the seat
\nwith a new candidate in 2020.<\/p>\n

At the end of the
\nprimary, Afrifa pulled 346 votes out of the 671 total votes casted, beating the
\nMunicipal Chief Executive of the area, Clement\u00a0Nii Lantey Wilkinson, the
\nformer parliamentary candidate who had 304 votes.<\/p>\n

The other two contestants,\u00a0Muriel Nana Oye Coffie Ago and Isaac Kwaku Minta Sackey had eight and 10 votes respectively.<\/p>\n
