Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin South, Rev. Ntim Fordjour, says he is happy the 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate and flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia secured more votes in the Assin South constituency than he the MP.
According to him, that was what he worked for, and achieving a positive result was therefore fulfilling.
Rev. Fordjour’s remarks come after Dr. Bawumia refuted claims that his Muslim faith was a key reason behind the party’s loss in the election.
Speaking at the NPP headquarters on Wednesday, April 23, to kick off a Thank You Tour, Dr. Bawumia described the assertions as baseless and unsupported by evidence, urging Ghanaians to focus on data rather than propaganda.
He further cited the Assin South constituency, noting that he secured more votes than Rev. Fordjour.
Rev. Fordjour garnered 14,899 votes while Dr. Bawumia secured 17,617 votes.
Reacting to this, the former Deputy Education Minister, in an interview on Adom FM’s Naket Kasiebo, said he took no offence, adding that he had promised to help Dr. Bawumia secure an overwhelming victory.
“I was happy Dr. Bawumia garnered more votes than me because that was what I worked for, and I was glad at the end to see that dream fulfilled. My votes dropped because of an independent candidate who polled about 10,000,” he noted.
