A young entrepreneur and journalist, has audaciously vowed to snatch the Ketu South seat from the incumbent Fifi Kwetey, after\u00a0picking nomination forms to contest as an independent candidate.<\/p>\n
The Ketu South Constituency is a stronghold of the ruling NDC and one of the major determinants of the party\u2019s chances of victory\u00a0in the general elections.<\/p>\n
For instance, President John Dramani Mahama garnered about 81,880 votes(93.15% of total vote cast), and about 77,837 people voted for the incumbent MP, Fifi Kwetey in the 2012 elections.<\/p>\n
There have been reports of apathy in the constituency following the disqualification of a business man, Jim Yao Morti during the NDC’s primary. The man had some followers from the Some Traditional Area in the Constituency. The\u00a0former MP, Albert Zigah, also staged a comeback during the primary.<\/p>\n
