After a resounding defeat in his attempt to become the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North constituency, National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth activist, Ras Mubarak is making a play for\u00a0 the Kumbungu seat in the Northern Region.<\/span><\/p>\n

The New Patriotic Party MP Joe Appiah, won the Ablekuma North constituency seat with about 60% of the total votes cast, while Ras Mubarak got 38.8% of the votes.<\/p>\n

Ras Mubarak has now ditched the Ablekuma North constituency which is largely seen as a seat for the NPP and launched another political journey on social media site facebook, announcing his intention to contest the Kumbungu seat.<\/p>\n

\"Ras\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So far, over 1,000 people have liked the specially created page.<\/p>\n

Ras Mubarak confirmed to citifmonline.com<\/strong> that the facebook page belongs to him but declined to make any further comments about his intentions.<\/p>\n

The Kumbugu seat was won by the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) after a bye-election in May 2013.<\/p>\n

The incumbent MP at the time, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni abdicated the seat after his appointment as Secretary-General of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States.<\/p>\n

The CPP\u2019s Mahamadu Moses Yahaya won with a 51.8% margin, beating competition from his closest contender from the NDC Alhaji Imoro Yakubu Kpagu.<\/p>\n

The Kumbungu constituency was carved out of the former Tolon-Kumbungu district and serves as a strong backbone for most communities, especially the Tamale Metropolis and Savelugu-Nanton district and their environs.<\/p>\n
