MP UNHAPPY ABOUT MONETISATION OF ELECTIONS

In the Asante-Akim North Constituency, the incumbent, Mr. Appiah-Kubi, had to battle with four other contestants who wanted to snatch the seat but failed woefully.
Out of the total valid votes of 568, the incumbent garnered 226 votes, leaving the four of them to share the remaining 342.

Consequently, all attempts by relatively young aspirants to unseat the three Asante-Akim MPs failed, with delegates opting for continuity in the enclave.

Speaking after his declaration, the two-time lawmaker said seeking political office has become expensive in Ghana and will deter many competent persons who do not have enough money to be given to delegates not to contest.
