Baba Sadiq wins okaikoi Central parliamentary slot

Sadiq Abudulai Abu, otherwise known as Baba Sadiq, former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of 3Media Networks, has emerged winner in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries held Saturday, May 13, 2023.

Sadiq won the bid to contest for the Okaikwei Central parliamentary seat in the 2024 general elections on the ticket of the NDC after he beat three other contenders in a landslide victory to secure his candidacy with a total of 682 votes.

Other candidates,  including Nadine Issah, Fred Nii Tetteh and Judge Hashford Quartey polled 267, 118 and 94 votes respectively.

Prior to the elections, he had made it known in an interview that he was the best option the party needed to defeat three-time MP for the area, Patrick Yaw Boamah.

”There are certain things that make me a refreshingly different candidate. I resonate with the four voting blocs in the constituency, particularly for the NDC. The Akan voting bloc has been one of the hard-to-reach blocs for the NDC in the constituency, but I resonate very well with the bloc, ” he stated.
