The Incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for Obuasi West, Kwaku Kwarteng, has won the New Patriotic Party (NPP) primary in the Obuasi West Constituency.
He polled 440 votes beating two contenders including a former presiding member of the Obuasi Municipal Assembly, Lawrence Nana Obeng Bondah who got 245 votes. The third person, Faustina Oppong garnered eight votes.
Out of 722 delegates, 695 participated in the exercise supervised by the Electoral Commission at the Len Clay Sports Stadium amid heavy security on Saturday, February 10, 2024.
Some disgruntled members of the party secured an injunction to stop the primary from being held on January 27, 2024, as was done in other constituencies.
In his victory speech, Kwarteng expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him and called for unity within the party for success in the upcoming elections.
