#NPP Primaries: Landlord ejected by tenant in Weija Gbawe
In a surprising turn of events, incumbent MP for Weija Gbawe, Tina Mensah, has been defeated in the New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary elections by Jerry Ahmed Shaib, the CEO of the Coastal Development Authority (CoDA).
As a result, Jerry Ahmed Shaib will represent the NPP in the constituency in the upcoming December 7 election, vying to become a parliamentarian.
Despite Tina Mensah's confidence in retaining her seat, referring to herself as the "landlord" and her opponent as a "rented aspirant," the election results tell a different story.
Out of the 1,151 votes cast, Jerry Ahmed Shaib secured a significant victory with 786 votes, representing 68.53%. Meanwhile, Tina Mensah garnered only 361 votes, representing 31.47%.
