Speaking to Accra-based Joy FM after provisional results indicated that he had won, Mr. Oppong-Nkrumah said he would work with the contestants he defeated to double NPP votes in Ofoase Oyirebi and galvanise votes for Nana Akufo-Addo to beat President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2016 general elections.
He said “I am happy, I am sad…it’s a mixture of feelings..,” he said.
He attributed his victory to hard work and a focus on his five point agenda for developing the constituency.
