Bernard Nii Anyaa Brown has won the Ablekuma South Constituency primary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He beat Samuel Sarbah Lartey to set up a showdown with former Accra mayor Dr Alfred Oko Vanderpuije in the 2020 elections.
The NPP held parliamentary primaries in ‘orphan’ constituencies on Saturday, September 28 in good time for the 2020 elections.
‘Orphan’ constituencies are those whose seats are held by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The party has scheduled January 2020 to hold primaries for its main seats.
