Deputy Finance Minister Fifi Kwetey has won the parliamentary primaries of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ketu South constituency.
He polled over 403 to beat incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) Albert Ziga who managed only 60 votes.
Five other contestants – Raphael Alorwu (82), Charles Nypson Agbagedy (30), Nicholas Woclachie (6), Elizabeth Kuenyefu (3), and Frederick Alipui (1) - joined the competition at the event which was held at the Evangelical Presbyterian church premises at Agbozume.
The Ketu south constituency primary was postponed during nationwide NDC parliamentary primaries in anticipation of a split of the constituency but the constituency was not affected.
Speaking upon his victory, Mr Kwetey warned the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to watch out because “NPP, you have trouble coming your way.”
He also thanked his constituents, especially the youth for ensuring he emerged winner.
“I don’t look at this victory as my personal victory because I never set on this journey at all for my own sake. But I look at it as victory for particularly the youth of Ketu South... that want to make sure that every opportunity that I have had they also can have.”
Fifi assured also the constituents of dedicated service.
