Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has won the Manhyia South Parliamentary primary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He polled 376 votes in Sunday's election to beat Nana Owusu Prempeh, a brother to the outgoing MP, who garnered 141 votes.
James Owusu garnered 7 votes, while Akwasi Coker Gyambibi had 2 votes
The primary was held to select a new candidate for the impending by-election following the selection of Manhyia South Member of Parliament Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the running mate to the NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Initially, five candidates picked forms to contest, but only four participated on the election day.
Manhyia South is a stronghold of the NPP, and it is expected that the primary winner will likely succeed in the main election to become the MP.
