Why the Ejisu Constituency primary

This primary follows the death of the late MP, Dr John Ampontuah Kumah, who died on March 7, 2024. The widow of the late deputy finance minister, Apostle Lillian Kumah, has dismissed claims that her husband died from some form of poisoning.

Lilian disclosed that there was no detection of poisoning throughout medical check-ups in Germany and Ghana.

On April 6, the NPP vetting committee cleared nine candidates, including Nyantakyi, for the Ejisuy parliamentary primaries. The winning candidate will represent the NPP in the constituency by-election on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.

A trending video of Nyantakyi being assisted as he arrived at the polling station to cast his vote has emerged on the internet.
