Armah Kofi Buah wins Ellembelle primary

The incumbent Member of Parliament for the Ellembelle Constituency and former Minister of Energy, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah has won the Ellembelle National Democratic Congress (NDC) primary.

He polled 993 votes against his only competitor, Alleah Mieza-Mea who managed just 99 votes out of total votes of 1,095 cast.

 This will be Mr Buah’s fourth consecutive time to contest the Ellembelle seat on the ticket of the NDC after he first entered the race in 2008 where he managed to end the parliamentary career of Freddie Blay who was then tagged as Ellembelle Mugabe.

Speaking after his declaration, Mr Buah, who called for unity, expressed gratitude to the delegates for trusting him for the fourth time and also promised to incorporate all the advice given to him during his campaign.

The NDC held its primaries last week in 157 constituencies while primaries in other constituencies were put on hold for various reasons and the party subsequently announced that four constituencies were to hold their primaries on August 31, 2019.

They included Assin South, Mfantseman, Fanteakwa North and Ellembelle constituencies. -citinewsroom.com
