Kumasi: A failed contestant in the Ashanti Regional Chairmanship race, Henry Kwabena Kokofu, has assured the winning candidate of his support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to ensure Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia becomes president of Ghana.
According to Ghana Web, Henry Kwabena Kokofu, who polled 269 votes in the chairmanship race, stated his continued commitment to the NPP in a statement shared via social media. His post read, 'Dr. Henry Kwabena Kokofu says 'THANK YOU' to everyone who supported his dream. He remains committed to serving NPP for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to become President'.
Henry Kwabena Kokofu entered the race for Ashanti Regional Chairman at a late stage, yet he mounted a strong campaign. Despite his efforts, he managed to secure only 269 votes, while his opponent, Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, garnered 663 votes to win the highly contested position.
