Member of Parliament for Akuapem South, OB Amoah, has announced his withdrawal from the upcoming parliamentary elections of the New Patriotic Party scheduled for January 27, 2024.

This decision, influenced by personal considerations, is also deemed beneficial for the party's interests. As the Chairman of the Research Committee of the Party, OB Amoah emphasised that his choice not to seek re-election has been the result of extensive consultations with the party's leadership.

Despite stepping back from the parliamentary race, he affirmed his commitment to actively engaging in the party's activities at both the national and constituency levels.

“It is for the people to judge whether I will be missed or not, and I cannot say whether I will be missed or not. I have been in Parliament for four terms and have also served in the executive, gathering a lot of experience along the way. I am still active in the party. I withdrew for the national interest of the party and my personal interest.”

His exclusion now leaves Eric Apeadu Yeboah, Kwame Ofori Gyawu, and Samuel Annor Mensah to fiercely contest for the seat the Member of Parliament has held for four consecutive terms.

OB Amoah, however, called on delegates in the Akuapem South constituency to ensure peaceful elections on Saturday.

“I meet delegates and speak to them every time, and the most critical thing is on Saturday, we have peaceful elections and rally behind the winner to ensure that we retain the seat.”
