Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Member of Parliament for Jomoro Constituency in the Western Region, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has chosen the Number 1 slot on the ballot in the May 13 Parliamentary primaries.<\/b><\/p>\n

Madam Affo-Toffey is seeking re-eletion but will be up against one Francis Akatia Kwaido in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primaries in the Constituency.<\/p>\n

After vetting on Monday, April 3, and subsequent balloting, the MP is the Number One on the ballot paper.<\/p>\n

Dozens of party supporters trooped to the venue to offer support to the MP.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media after the vetting and balloting, Madam Affo-Toffey explained that \u201cit would have been better if the party had rewarded her with unopposed looking at the money involved in campaigning so that she could save that money for the general election\u201d.<\/p>\n

But it is okay because the other person is also qualified so it is good for the party to allow him contest because \u201cwe are in democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n

The MP said she will pull all on board her campaign to ensure victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the Yaa Asantewaa of Jomoro. We have done it before and I know we shall do it this time around.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he would even get 2% of the vote, so let\u2019s see.\u201d<\/p>\n
