The Member of Parliament for Jomoro Constituency in the Western Region, Dorcas Affo-Toffey has chosen the number one slot on the ballot in the May 13 parliamentary elections of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Madam Affo-Toffey is contesting for the second time with one Mr. Francis Akatia Kwaido in the NDC Jomoro primary.
After vetting on Monday, April 3, 2023, and subsequent balloting, the MP is the number one on the ballot paper.
Dozens of party supporters trooped to the venue to offer support to the MP.
Speaking to the media after the vetting and balloting, Madam Affo-Toffey observed that “it would have been better if the party had rewarded her with unopposed looking at the money involve in campaigning so that she could save that money for the general election”.
She however acknowledged, “But it is okay because the other person is also qualified so it is good for the party to allow him to contest because we are in a democracy”.
Meanwhile, the incumbent MP is promising a resounding victory in the party’s primary as she also hopes to increase her votes in the general elections as well.
“I am the Yaa Asantewaa of Jomoro. We have done it before and I know we shall do it this time around. I don’t think he would even get 2% of the vote, so let’s see”.
