Kojo Frimpong, a parliamentary candidate hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Wenchi Constituency, has revealed how President Akufo-Addo reacted to the party losing the Wenchi seat to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2020 elections.
According to Frimpong, when he and others went to the president’s residence to congratulate him on his victory, Akufo-Addo’s mood changed upon learning they were from Wenchi.
The president was reportedly disappointed about the NPP’s loss in Wenchi during the 2020 elections.
“You lose Wenchi, you lose Wenchi in my time. I am President of Ghana and you lose Wenchi-Busia seat (sic). I couldn’t utter a word, I only humbled myself and told him Mr. President we will win Wenchi back in 2024,” he stated.
Kojo Frimpong described himself as a Member of Parliament apprentice and revealed his commitment to reclaim the Wenchi seat for the NPP.
The seat was lost to the NDC’s Seidu Haruna during the 2020 elections, defeating the NPP’s Prof. George Yaw Djan-Baffuor, who had represented Wenchi in parliament for three consecutive terms.
