Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, has been re-elected as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the Ningo-Prampram constituency.
Sam George had 1036 votes to defeat his contender, Michael Kwettey Nettey.
The primaries were plagued with allegations of rigging from the camp of Mr Kwettey, forcing the polls to be briefly halted by the police.
Two people were arrested at the New Ningo D/A Basic School B polling station as they attempted to influence the voting process.
They were said to be engaging delegates to convince them to vote for their preferred candidate, resulting in uneasy calm.
One was said to support Sam George and the other a supporter of Michael Kwetey Tetteh.
Meanwhile, the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for Klottey Korle, Dr Zenator Rawlings, has also been re-elected to lead the NDC into the constituency’s 2024 elections.

Meredith Naa Odarkai Lamptey Addy and Nii John Alfonso Coleman, her main contenders, garnered 268 and 360 votes, respectively.
