Despite the fierce NPP parliamentary contest in Tema West which nearly resulted in the disqualification of the eventual winner, Carlos Ahenkora, he has vowed to work with the outgoing MP Hon. Irene Naa Torshie Addo.

Newly elected New Patriotic Party [NPP] Member of Parliament [MP] aspirant for Tema West, Carlos Ahenkorah insists that his victory must unite his constituency in particular and the party in general rather than bring about any form of conflict.

According to him, the rivalry between him and the incumbent MP for Tema West Hon Naa Torshie Addo during their campaign must cease – “This is not a win for Carlos alone. It’s a victory for the party and the people of Tema West”. 

Carlos Ahenkorah won the NPP Primaries in the Tema West Constituency with a dramatic result that saw incumbent Irene Naa Torshie Addo fall heavily.

The MP elect polled 502 votes – leaving his strongest opponent Irene Naa Torshie Addo with just 273 votes and the third candidate Adwoa Amoako with an embarrassing figure of two [2] votes.

Speaking on Okay Fm’s "Ade Akye Abia" Morning Show, Carlos Ahenkora said he will use any means necessary to take away the pains in the heart of the incumbent MP in order for her to join him in the campaign for the 2016 elections.

“I don’t take delight in anything that caused another person’s pain…I have plans to ensure that Irene remains part of our campaign team; even to make her our campaign manager or lead our campaign in Tema West. I pray to God to touch her heart to console her for this defeat because it is only one person who can represent NPP in this constituency,” he said.

“My vision is to bridge the division in this constituency because that cost the fortunes of the party in this constituency,” he added.
