It doesn’t appear to be exciting news for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nfantseman West constituency as Mr. Stephen Asamoah Boatenbg is believed to have lost his seat.
Mr. Asamoah Boateng was confident of winning the seat but the story doesn’t look pleasant.
The Information and National Orientation Minister is said to be hot trying to sort things out and see if he can still manage something.
His deputy, Mr Frank Agyekum, told reporters there was no need for anybody to conclude his boss has lost his seat.
He however, admitted that in the normal scheme of things, Mr. Asamoah Boateng would have won the seat by a handsome majority.
In 2004, he won the seat with 28,081, beating his NDC rival Joojo Bruce Quansah, who polled NDC 20,552 votes.
The over 7,000 difference has down diminished remarkably. On the general trend of the results which pundits say don’t look good for the NPP, Mr. Agyekum said although some of the results did not look good, it was too early to draw conclusions.
“We should hesitate before concluding that we have lost in the Central Region,” he said.
