Frank Ahima Mireku, who vied for the parliamentary seat in the Abirem constituency under the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) but lost to Charles Owiredu Asuako, has announced his decision to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 elections.
Mr Mireku, who secured the second position with 148 votes, has accused Mr Asuako of securing victory through financial influence rather than genuine grassroots support.
Responding to calls from friends who questioned Asuako’s popularity, Mr Mireku stated that he would contest as an independent candidate while urging NPP members in the Abirem constituency to throw their support behind his candidacy in the forthcoming general elections.
Charles Owiredu Asuako polled 190 votes to emerge victorious in the parliamentary elections.
