Call it a David and Goliath fight, and you will not be wrong.<\/p>\n
Sam George, a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of E.T Mensah, the incumbent Member of Parliament for the Ningo-Prampram Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, has toppled his boss in perhaps, the fiercest race in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primaries.<\/p>\n
Certified\u00a0results declared by the Electoral Commission official from 22 polling stations gave Samuel Nartey George, 4,910 votes representing 53.4% of total votes with ET Mensah polling\u00a02,831 representing 38.5%.<\/p>\n

From the war of words that ensued in the media between the two contenders, the fight was taken to the grounds in Ningo-Prampram, where Mr. Sam George was allegedly punched in his eye during a disagreement about the voters\u2019 register on Saturday.<\/p>\n
