Naa Torshie to lead Carlos Ahenkora’s campaign

Barring any last minute change in decision, defeated parliamentary aspirant for the Tema West Constituency on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Irene Naa Torshie, will lead the campaign of the eventual winner of last Saturday’s primaries in the constituency.

Carlos Ahenkora over the weekend defeated Naa Torshie who is the incumbent Member of Parliament for the area.

He polled 503 while Naa Torshie Addo had 273. The other contender Adwoa Amoakoa had 2 votes.

Speaking to Ekourba Gyasi, host of TOP FM’s morning show “Y?n Ns?mpa” on Monday, Carlos Ahenkora said although the two of them traded verbal attacks in the heat of the campaign, they would be united going forward into the 2016 elections.

He said the results showed that the MP had a lot of following and discarding her from the campaign will be suicidal.

"Am waiting for the appropriate time to invite her to lead my campaign," he said
