The defeated Parliamentary Candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the just ended Kumawu by-election, Kwasi Amankwaa has said although he is failed to emerge winner but, he’s saddened by the outcome of the results where the youth have allowed themselves for the NPP to use money to persuade them to vote

He made these assertions after the Electoral Commission declared the NPP candidate, Ernest Yaw Anim as the winner.

“I feels sad for the youth of Kumawu to think of money than development”…how can you sell your right for Ghc50.

I couldn’t emerge winner because I refused to distribute money to them and that has compelled the youth to vote
against me.

“It’s a very sad day for Kumawu politics and Ghana politics. I’m thinking about the future of the youth. It’s
very pathetic. Because people deliberately buying people’s votes, people’s future with GH50. It’s just sad,”
Kwasi Amankwaa lamented.

The defeated NDC Parliamentary candidate continued, “It doesn’t speak well of us as Ghanaians. I’m very
very saddened. I see myself as a winner. I have served a purpose..I’m very proud of my team but just sad
for the people and youth of Kumawu.”

for Kumawu with 15,264 of the total vote cast representing 70.91%.
