Upper East Regional Minister and Parliamentary Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the Navrongo Central Constituency, Tangoba Abayage, has conceded defeat to her competitor, Sampson Tangombu Chiragia of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), barely a few hours after a hotly contested parliamentary election.
Madam Abayage in a statement on her facebook wall indicated that she had lost the bid to becoming Member of Parliament (MP) for the Navrongo Central Constituency.
“Unfortunately, I lost to the men! But I raise my chest boldly out! Never has there been this fight in Navrongo before. Navrongo wins at the end of it all. No dusting of body; just polishing of shoes and dancing off into the future!” Her facebook post read.
At the time of her concession, certified results of the parliamentary polls were yet to be announced by the Electoral Commission.
It is therefore unclear what margin of defeat Madam Abayage is conceding to.
Meanwhile, NDC’s Sampson Tangombu Chiragia at the time of filing this report was yet to make a statement on the outcome of the election.
