The decision of Mr. Jinapor to contest the seat was announced on his friend’s facebook wall, Nuhu Ndebilla, on Thursday.

“The humble and hardworking Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor has a brighter chance of winning the Yapei/Kusawgu seat again for the NDC which has a dominant following in the Central Gonja area.

The NDC goes to the polls on November 7, 2015 to decide on Presidential and Parliamentary candidates for the 2016 general elections.
