Musician-turned-politician Bice Osei Kufour, popularly known as Obour, has once again been defeated in his bid to become the NPP Parliamentary candidate for the Asante Akim South constituency.
The incumbent MP for the constituency, Kwaku Asante Boateng beat the former president of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) again in the 2024 NPP parliamentary primaries.
Obour garnered only 280 of the votes representing 32.86% of the votes cast while Mr Boateng won with 522 votes, representing 61.27% of the votes cast.
Meanwhile, the third candidate got only 59 votes, representing 5.87% of the votes.
This is Obour’s second time losing the NPP primaries.
The Managing Director for the Ghana Post Company Limited first contested against the incumbent MP in the 2020 NPP parliamentary primaries.
At the time, he lost with 296 votes – 16 more votes than the total he gained this year.
