A former Deputy Minister of Communication, Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has been re-elected to represent the main opposition National Democratic Congress as the parliamentary candidate in the Abura Asebu-Kwamankese constituency in the 2024 general elections.
At the end of the Saturday, 13 May 2023 presidential and parliamentary primaries of the biggest opposition party, former President John Mahama's aide polled 830 votes against his contender, Professor Nana Ama Browne Klutse's 571 votes.
