Bice Osei Kufuor, better known as Obour says he believes he lost the Asante Akyem South parliamentary primary due to his political inexperience.
The former MUSIGA president-turned-politician who was gunning to unseat the incumbent MP, Kwaku Asante-Boateng lost the primaries by 68 votes.
Obour garnered 296 of the votes, whilst the incumbent MP secured 364 votes.
The other contenders, William Yamoah, had 38 votes while Edmond Oppong Peprah polled 9 votes with Eric Amofa getting 12 votes.
“The delegates of the NPP have decided,” he said in his concession speech.
Further commenting on his loss, he added; “Kwaku Asante Boateng has shown that he is an experienced politician; he’s been in parliament two terms already and he is going the third term”.
“Definitely he may have some tricks I don’t have,” he admitted, but said it is all good for him as a first timer.
Despite losing the elections, Obour thought his performance has been great and thanked the delegates for the support.
“This is my first time of coming into the race and I think the delegates of Asante Akyem South have really shown me love.
“I am sure most of the things that we had campaigned on now that we have a parliamentary candidate the 10,000 votes we promised Nana Addo, it is coming in its numbers,” he declared.
