Bernard Bediako Baidoo Wins NDC Akwatia Primaries

Bernard Bediako Baidoo has emerged victorious in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primary for the Akwatia Constituency.

Baidoo, who currently serves as the constituency secretary of the NDC, secured 380 votes out of 980 valid ballots cast, defeating two other contenders — his own client and former Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Henry Boakye Yiadom (popularly known as Okoyo), and Rasmus Koneh Ali (also known as Asanka Poyooyo).

Rasmus Koneh Ali received 366 votes, while Henry Boakye Yiadom garnered 226 votes.

The Eastern Regional Director of the Electoral Commission, John Appiah Baffoe, declared Bernard Bediako Baidoo the winner following the official count. With this victory, Baidoo will represent the NDC in the upcoming by-election on September 2, 2025, where he will face Solomon Asumadu, the candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
