My support for Ofori-Atta’s dismissal caused my defeat –Dr. Adomako Kissi
Dr. Dickson Adomako Kissi, the Member of Parliament for Anyaa-Sowutuom, believes that his endorsement of the ‘Ken must go’ campaign may have been a factor in his loss in the recent New Patriotic Party Parliamentary Primaries to Elder Emmanuel Tobbin. Dr. Adomako, who is known for advocating the removal of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta due to the country’s economic challenges, admitted that while there were multiple factors at play in his defeat, his dissenting stance and support for the ‘Ken must go’ campaign may have contributed to his loss.
He also acknowledged that his backing of the Alan Kyeremanten movement could have played a role in his failure to secure the candidacy for the December polls.
There is a good reason why you should support the African Editors. Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read, including in Ghana. If this is you, please continue to read for free. But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.
1. Our quality, journalism is a scrutinising force at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more.
2. We are independent and have no billionaire owner pulling the strings, so your money directly powers our reporting.
3. It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message.
Help power the African Editors' journalism for the years to come, whether with a small sum or a larger one.
