Ameyaw-Cheremeh emerges victorious in Sunyani East NPP parliamentary primary

Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh, the incumbent Member of Parliament for Sunyani East, has emerged victorious in the parliamentary primary preceding the 2024 elections.

Mr. Ameyaw-Cheremeh, who also serves as the Board Chairman of the Bui Power Authority, is poised to represent his constituents in Parliament for the fifth consecutive term should he secure a victory in the forthcoming 2024 parliamentary elections.

The Sunyani East constituency initially faced challenges that prevented its participation in the NPP’s parliamentary primaries held on Saturday, January 27.

However, following resolutions by the national leadership of the Party, the primary was rescheduled to March 9.

In a closely contested election overseen by the Electoral Commission (EC), Mr. Ameyaw-Cheremeh secured 460 out of the 799 valid votes cast, defeating his sole rival, Ambassador George Kumi, a former envoy.
