NPP Primaries – I can’t wait to whip KT Harmond – Sammy Binfo

The contender to the Adanse Asokwa parliamentary seat, Samuel Binfo Dakwah, says he cannot wait to give the incumbent K.T. Harmond a thrashing defeat on Saturday.

“I shouldn’t get anything less than 70%. I am going to whip him and whip him proper,” Sammy Binfo told GHOne.

Some 434 delegates will determine the results of the heated Parliamentary Primaries of the New Patriotic Party in the Adanse Asokwa constituency by end of polls on Saturday, June 25.

The straight fight between the relatively new candidate Sammy Binfo and the four-term Member of Parliament, K.T. Harmond, has been nothing less than dramatic.

While Mr Harmond appears to have lost favour with delegates and regional executives of the party, Sammy Binfo has gathered some considerable storm behind his sails.

Mr Binfo discounts the effect of a meeting held between the Assin Central legislator Kennedy Agyeapong and delegates to influence votes in the favour of K.T. Harmond.

He contends, “We are not going to prevent anybody from accepting any gift from anybody. Whatever they bring take it because, after 20 years in parliament, the man is just about leaving so you are just collecting ex-gratia. So collect it and just decide who you want to vote for.”

Mr K.T. Harmond is , however, unsettled yet. He says there is a deliberate plan to destabilise his constituency and make him unpopular.
