    Ursula Owusu Jeered And Booed at by Ablekuma West Constituents

    At the sound of ‘Kpa kpa kpa away’, a performer trembles with fear and disappointment because he or she knows the time to take a bow is up as failure to adhere could result in him or her being pelted with missiles.

    If the same rule applies in politics then Ursula Owusu-Ekuful , the Member of Parliament-elect for Ablekuma West should be concerned about her future as some of the constituents handed her a treatment similar to how an audience drives away a boring and uninspiring performer.
    In a viral video which was recorded on election day, some constituents are seen jeering and chanting ‘away away’ at the Minister of Communications.

    Conflicting reports on the video suggest that it was filmed before the declaration of the results while others say the incident happened when she was making her way to a polling station in the constituency.

    Ursula Owusu polled 37,363 out of 69,353 votes to retain her seat as the lawmaker representing the people of Ablekuma West.

    Her closest competitor Rev. Kweku Addo of the National Democratic Congress ( NDC) followed with 30,733 votes.


    In 2016, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful recorded 34,376 compared to 20,976 by Diana Obenewaa Twumwaa of the National Democratic Congress .
    The reduction in victory margin has been interpreted by some people as a dwindling in the popularity of the Communications Minister.

    The failed Parliamentary Aspirant on the ticket of the People’s Progressive Party in the Asante Akyem North constituency of the Ashanti Region speaking on Wontumi Television’s Ammamuo mu nsem on Friday evening said, John Mahama is sponsoring all the failed Parliamentary aspirants of the New Patriotic Party who have decided to go independent.

    He however said, John Dramani Mahama knows for a fact that he is loosing the 2020 elections and want to use Parliament to frustrate the Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo’s second term. “If the New Patriotic Party fails to get majority in the next Parliament, Parliamentary rectifications and approvals of government programs and policies will not sail through with ease and will affect Nana Addo’s government, that is the why John Mahama is supporting our own people to go independent”, He said.

    He further said all the Parliamentary candidates who have refused to listen to the President to reverse their decision on their independent ambitions in our strongholds are sponsored by John Dramani Mahama.

    John Mahama is funding their campaigns and doing everything within his means to get them elected.
