The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary has been smooth so far in the New Juaben South constituency where a very keen contest is anticipated.

The contest is between the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP), Dr. Mark Assibey Yeboah and the Director of the Ghana Free Zones, Mr Michael Okyere Baafi.

A total of 586 delegates are expected to vote in the 35 polling stations where the exercise is taking place.

Graphic Online observed that the health and safety protocols to curtail the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), including social distancing, were duly observed.

Veronica-buckets and hand sanitizers were available while delegates were seen in nose masks.

The former Energy Minister, Mr Boakye Agyarko who was at the collation centre in the New Juaben South to observe the processes urged delegates to vote wisely and avoid any acts of violence.

He also urged losing candidate to accept defeat and work hard together with the winning candidate for better fortunes for the party going into the 2020 general elections.
