The incumbent Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa constituency in the Ashanti Region, Kobina Tahir Hammond has retained his candidature.
KT Hammond who doubles as the Minister for Trade had 311 to beat his main contender Deputy CEO of the Ghana Library Authority Samuel Binfoh who polled 125 votes.
Kwabena Asamoah and Enoch Acheampong garnered 26 and 25 votes respectively.
Earlier threatened KT Hammond to give his main contender in the New Patriotic Party primaries, Sammy Binfoh Darkwah a showdown.
This was after the Trades Minister claimed Samuel Binfoh had deployed individuals to assault his supporters.
He said the attack occurred on Friday night, claiming some of the suspects came to his house to apologise after the act.
In response to these allegations, Hammond expressed his intention for retaliation.
“We have had elections in this constituency for 24 years and there has not been any act of violence or chaos but Sammy Binfoh comes in anytime to cause trouble. I am very disappointed one of my people had an AK47 but decided to use a pistol to defend himself,” he stated.
“I will give him two showdowns. I will humiliate him at the polls and get him beaten physically. This is not violence but a notice so wherever he is, he should leave town quickly.
