Delegates from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Greater Accra region’s Ledzokuku constituency are gushing about Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye, a former member of parliament.
Following the voting procedure, the delegates were served breakfast and were treated to a buffet lunch.
They praised Dr. Okoe Boye for his thoughtful act, which they claimed was a sign of love for them.
The delighted voters expressed confidence that the former MP would lead the party to victory in the 2024 election and carry on the excellent work.
Collins Nii Ashitey Ollenu, Clifford Martey, and Ibrahim Adjei—a presidential staffer—challenged the former MP.
At the end of the day, NHIA CEO Bernard Oko Boye got the nod at Ledzokuku. He garnered 901 while Collins Nii Ashitey Ollenu polled 354. The other aspirants Clifford Martey Korley and Ibrahim Sowah Adjei polled 199 and 179 votes respectively.

Delegates from the New Patriotic Party have descended upon different polling places to participate in the party’s ongoing parliamentary primary in its orphan constituencies.
Voting at the various polling places started at 7 a.m.
The election is a component of the party’s planning for the general elections in 2024.
The purpose of this internal election is to choose parliamentary candidates for the 111 constituencies in which the party does not currently have any sitting members of parliament. The party has made a point of assuring that all potential candidates for parliament will face an equal and fair contest, with no candidate imposition.
The party published guidelines earlier this week for the forthcoming parliamentary primaries in constituencies where there are currently no NPP MPs.
In constituencies where MPs are currently serving, parliamentary candidates will likely be chosen in January 2024.
