New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates who took part in the special delegates congress of the party in the Volta Region, failed to vote massively for Stephen Asamoah Boateng, popularly called Asabee after his agents offered them food yesterday.
They referred to Asabee as �take-away president�.
The food packs were branded in NPP colours with the picture of the Asamoah Boateng embossed on them.
Asabee believes he would change the fortunes of the party and the country if given the nod.
The food packs also had the inscription �Vote Asamoah Boateng, Number two (2)�
It also had a replica of the ballot paper indicating his position on the ballot paper.
The move, which has been lauded by some observers, was not enough to secure votes for him as he managed to secure only one vote out of the 51 votes.
Nana Addo had 28 votes as against Alan�s 14 votes, while former Attorney General Joe Ghartey and Addai Nimo had one vote each.
Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku and Kofi Osei Ameyaw polled two and four votes respectively.
Some delegates in an interview with Daily Guide, said �although Asabee is a good fellow it is not his time to lead the party and he needs more training and preparation for the future.
