“The incumbent’s chances depends on the one who has dropped out – the side his supporters are going to support…I cannot comment on who will actually win but whoever will get the backing of the one who has dropped out will get the nod,” he said in an interview on Radio Ghana.
Delegates of the NPP in Ablekuma West constituency are heading to the polls to elect a Parliamentary candidate to represent them in the November polls.
The primary in the area was delayed for almost nine months following disagreements over the constituency’s voters’ register.

Three individuals were contesting in the race but the former constituency chairman, Theophilus Tetteh bowed out of the race following his failure to appear before the vetting committee.
This means that currently, only two persons – the incumbent MP, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful and Roni Nicole will be contesting in the race.
According to Ben Ephson, “if it were a three-horse race, that would have made it easier for Ursula because with the other candidate dropping out, I am sure, lobbying has been going on behind closed doors for his support.”
He indicated that the incumbent MP initially had problems with some of the executives but although that has been resolved, it could still affect her chances of winning the seat.
“When it comes to primaries of this nature, it is personal relationships and opinion leaders who can help,” he explained.
