Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, NDC General Secretary
The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has refuted a letter alleging that the NDC financially supported an independent candidate in the April 30 by-election in Ejisu.
Hours to the opening of polls, pro-NPP social media accounts began circulating two letters claimed to be from the NDC National Headquarters, directing the Ashanti Regional branch to back candidate Kwabena Owusu Aduomi.
"It is fake. We saw it yesterday (April 29), and I can assure you nothing like that has occurred," Kwetey stated in an interview with GhanaFact.
The letters were also disseminated by the former Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Samuel Koku Anyidoho, who criticized the party for supposedly adopting an incorrect strategy to undermine the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) chances in the election.
The by-election was necessitated by the passing of the sitting MP, John Kumah, in March 2024.
At the conclusion of the voting, the NPP candidate, Kwabena Boateng, emerged victorious with 55.8% of the total votes cast and has been proclaimed MP-elect.
Final Results from 204 out of 204 Polling Stations:
• Esther Osei (CPP) – 0.2 percent (89 votes)
• Kwabena Boateng (NPP) – 55.8 percent (27,772 votes)
• Beatrice Boakye (LPG) - 0.3 percent (149 votes)
• Kwabena Owusu Aduomi (IND) – 43.3 percent (21,534 votes)
• Joseph Agyeman Fredua (IND) – 0.4 percent (222 votes)
• Joseph Attakora (IND) – 0.0 percent (23 votes)
• Voter turnout - 49.1 percent
