The aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Shai Osudoku is dead following an accident last night.
William Ocloo was one of the two drivers who died when the GMC four runner he was driving collided with a mini bus.
It happened at Atwedie close to Juaso on the Kumasi - Accra road last night at about 8 pm.
Juaso police have confirmed the parliamentary candidate for Shai Osudoku was the one driving the GMC four runner.
The police commander says he was trapped in the vehicle and they had to cut open to free the body
Their bodies have been deposited at the Stewards private mortuary close to Yaw Kwei.
William Ocloo beat incumbent David Tetteh Assumeng (1280) in the primary by polling 4,350. Two other contenders: Dr. Kpessah Whyte and Ebenezer Adzakli polled 3,189, and 393, respectively.
Mr Ocloo’s death means the NDC would have to re-run the primary in the constituency to elect a new candidate for the November polls.
