Former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwasi Nyantakyi’s team has stated that despite falling ill shortly before the Ejisu NPP parliamentary primary, he intends to be at the polling station before voting concludes.
Nyantakyi was hospitalized on Friday night after experiencing dizziness, reportedly falling ill after visiting electoral areas as part of his campaign activities.
As polling began, Nyantakyi was still in the hospital under observation. However, his team has indicated that health professionals have conducted checks, and he is expected to be discharged before the end of the election.
Members of the election committee also visited Nyantakyi in the hospital where he was admitted.
Nine aspirants are competing to be elected as parliamentary candidates of the NPP for the upcoming by-election in Ejisu, following the death of the MP in March after a brief illness.
