The Chief Executive officer of the World Trade Centre in Accra, Mr Kweku Rickett Hagan, 49, on Saturday won the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary primary to contest the Cape Coast South seat.
He polled 230 of the 288 total votes cast whilst his contestant Mr. Anthony Egyir Aikins, the Cape Coast Metropolitan Chief Executive had 58 votes.
Mr. Rickett Hagan, who contested the sitting MP for Cape Coast, Mr. Ebo Barton Odro and lost early this year, pledged to work to ensure that the NDC wins both the Cape Coast North and South seats.
The polls went on smoothly under the supervision of the Cape Coast Office of the Electoral Commission (EC).
The Regional Chairman, Mr. Samuel Adu Yeboah, before the polls reminded the contestants to understand the issues at stake and immediately join hands to work together as a team after one had been declared winner.
Mr. Aikins pledged to support the candidate to win the election.
