The New Patriotic Party (NPP) held primaries to choose a new candidate for the upcoming by-elections in the Ejisu Constituency after incumbent MP John Kumah passed away.
Former Ghana Football Association president Kwasi Nyantakyi and attorney Kwabena Boateng were competitors.
Boateng finally declared victory with 393 votes, ending a fiercely contested contest.

Nyantakyi received considerably less support, obtaining just 35 votes out of the 1080 ballots cast, which proved disappointing for him politically.
Additional candidates included Dr. Evans Duah with 61 votes, Clinsma Karikari Mensah receiving 2 votes, Helena Mensah gathering 302 votes, Abena Pokua without any recorded votes, Portia Mensah collecting 6 votes, Aaron Prince Duah acquiring 2 votes, and Mama Yaa Aboagye getting 229 votes.
Nyantakyi remains determined to strategize and return more robustly.
