Patrick Boamah should accept the results so we can move on – Baba Sadiq

Newly elected MP for Okaikwei Central, Baba Sadiq, is urging his opponent, incumbent MP, Patrick Boamah, to concede defeat.

In an interview on Hitz FM, Baba Sadiq addressed the concerns raised by Patrick Boamah, saying, "I think he must accept, so we can move on”.

In a response to Patrick's resolve to contest the election results in court, he said, "That’s an option less for him that one can’t really say. I would have wished that for someone that had been voted for three different times by the constituents and for them to actually show a willingness to change this time around, I think he needs to accept the fate and probably move on to something else."

Baba Sadiq is taking the high road by acknowledging Patrick Boamah's wealth of political experience and potential for growth within his party.

“He is a fine gentleman, he’s got a very good political experience. I think he can move up and there is every opportunity for him to move up within his party or within the political ladder itself," he noted.

Baba Sadiq had 15,383 votes, defeating Patrick Boamah of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who secured 14,949 votes.
