One of the aspirants seeking for Oti Regional Secretary position, Gado Yakubu Ninsaw, collapsed on Sunday after losing the election.
Dressed in all white in
expectation of a resounding victory, Mr Ninsaw had the shock of his life when
the results did not go in his favour.
He collapsed after realizing
the opponent was in a comfortable lead during the counting and ahead of the
official declaration.
Party officials and onlookers
rushed to revive him and he was later sent to the hospital for medical
treatment.
In the comments, the Member
of Parliament for Krachi West, Helen Adjoa Ntoso, advised politicians not to
take the game at heart.
She
added that the way the defeated politician tumbled down as he stood was a clear
indication he was suffering from exhaustion or a health condition or even both.
“He could have died. Thanks
be to God that he is still alive. We all need to be health conscious. This is
what happens when you mainly depend on politics for the upkeep of you and your
family,” she said.
The incumbent chairman, who
won with 162 votes, assured of working hard to retain all the parliamentary
seats in Oti and also double the presidential votes for John Mahama for victory
2024.
The
winner of the Women’s Organiser position, Paulina Magyam, also promised to work
hard with the elected executives to capture power from NPP in 2024
