A former District Chief Executive (DCE) for Sunyani, Mr Kwadwo Nyamekye-Marfo, 53, has been elected the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary aspirant to contest the December 7, 2008 election for the Sunyani West Constituency in the Brong Ahafo Region.
He obtained 157 votes to beat three other contestants in the constituency primaries, held at Mantukwa, a town off the Sunyani-Berekum road.
The defeated aspirants were Mr Ahmed Boadan, Rev. Nana Adjei Ntow and Mr Obeng Apraku Tando. The election was conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC) and supervised by representatives of the Regional Secretariat of the NDC, led by Mr Mohammed Seidu Maha, the Regional Youth Organiser.
With the Sunyani West Primaries over as the 23rd in the region to be organised by the party, the Sene Constituency was the only one left to be held.
In a brief address before the delegates cast their votes, the Constituency Chairman, Mr Ishak Twamasi Ankrah, appealed to the voters to be patient since all the primaries in the previous 22 constituencies in the region had recorded no violence.
Without any apparent reason, the constituency chairman took media men invited to cover the event to task by insisting that, they reported accurately whatever transpired at the primaries, and cautioned that any media house that failed to do so would face the law and would not be invited to cover any future events of the party in the constituency.
