Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu Constituency has received a 96.5 per cent endorsement from delegates in the Constituency as the Party's candidate for the 2020 Parliamentary elections.
He polled 1,043 of the 1,078 total valid ballots cast, with Mr William Mawuli Ahedo, his contender, securing 35 votes, representing 3.2 per cent.
Delegates turned up early at the Mepe Presbyterian Junior High School for the exercise, and hours before the official close of polls, the voters register had been cleared.
Soon after the results were collated, delegates and party supporters thronged to Mr Ablakwa, chanting Party tunes, and congratulating him.
The MP told supporters that although he was sure of victory, the level of endorsement was "unexpected", and was an indication that victory for the Party in 2020 was on the horizon.
