Member of Parliament (MP) for Yapei Kusawgu
constituency, John Jinapor, has revealed
that his brother, Abu Jinapor gave him a
tough competition in the 2020 election.
According to the former Deputy
Energy Minister, though they contested the parliamentary seat in different
regions, his brother’s performance was unmatched.
He indicated he had a tough time in his campaign due
to the lack of resources compared to his brother who had more than enough.
“Abu really displayed in
Damango. He did a lot of work and made sure he pushed development to the area,”
he said.
Mr Jinapor made the disclosure
on Asempa FM’s Ekosii
Sen, adding that most people expected him to also replicate his
brother’s efforts in his constituency.
“People really looked up to me
and wondered why I was not doing what he did but the truth is I didn’t have that
many reasons and so I suffered in my campaign,” he added.
Abu Jinapor, who is a former
Deputy Chief of Staff at the Presidency, won the Damongo constituency of the Savannah
Region in a fierce contest against the NDC’s Adam Mutawakilu.
The legal practitioner polled 15,671 votes to defeat the
incumbent who polled 13,330 votes.
