In a major upset, the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Freda Prempeh, was ousted in the Tano North constituency. Challenger Dr. Gideon Boako, spokesperson for the Vice President, and NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia cruised to victory with 444 votes against Prempeh’s 221.

Similarly, Dome-Kwabenya witnessed a stunning defeat for Adwoa Safo, the outspoken Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection. Mike Ocquaye Jr., son of former Speaker Mike Ocquaye, secured a convincing win with 1194 votes, leaving Safo with only 328.

The Abuakwa North constituency also saw a change of guard, with incumbent Gifty Twum-Ampofo narrowly losing to Nana Ampaw Addo-Frempong. Popularly known as “Buffalo,” Addo-Frempong garnered 222 votes compared to Twum-Ampofo’s 202.

Beyond these significant upsets, another high-profile casualty was Deputy Minister of Health, Tina Gifty Mensah. Jerry Ahmed Shab won the Weija Gbawe seat with 786 votes against Mensah’s 361.

These unexpected defeats sent shockwaves through the NPP, raising questions about voter sentiment and future party dynamics.

COP Alex Mensah also lost the Bekwai primary with 245 votes to Ralph Poku-Adusei, who polled 662 votes. Minister for Public Enterprises, Joseph Cudjoe, lost the Effia primary in the Western Region to Isaac Nyarko Boamah, a financial analyst.

Sheila Bartels lost the Ablekuma North poll with 637 votes to Akua Afriyie, who polled 756. The outcome of these primaries underscores a shifting political landscape within the NPP, signaling potential changes in leadership and strategies as the party advances towards upcoming elections.
