Anyaa-Sowutuom MP Dr Dickson Adomako Kissi has linked his defeat in the recent New Patriotic Party parliamentary primaries to his endorsement of the popular 'Ken must go' campaign.
Dr. Adomako acknowledged that his active involvement in the 'Ken must go' movement influenced his loss in the primaries.
In an interview with Citi FM on Tuesday, February 6, the medical practitioner turned politician said while his support for the campaign could have been a factor, other circumstances likely contributed to his electoral defeat.
“I think that there were many factors. One that comes to mind is, you know, having a dissenting mind. What I mean by that is there have been several cases that I had with a dissenting mind and I think that it may have contributed.
“For instance, I am one of the few who stood initially, for 'Ken must go’. I wouldn’t say that is the one key reason but I think it may have contributed," he said.
In 2022, the Finance Minister faced criticism as some NPP legislators called for his ousting, attributing the nation’s economic challenges to his perceived poor performance.
The National Democratic Congress also lodged a censure motion for his removal, citing factors like gross incompetence and conflict of interest.
When it was time to vote to remove him from his position, the Majority staged a walkout, amidst claims that they had been whipped in line to back down on their demand.
