The New Patriotic Party(NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Dome-Kwabenya constituency, Mike Ocquaye Jnr, has been advised to give up on the seat.
The National Democratic Congress(NDC) Deputy Director of Elections and IT, Mahdi Jibril made the call on Adom FM Dwaso Nsem, stating Mr Ocquaye was fighting a losing battle.
This comes in the wake of plans by the Electoral Commission(EC) to re-run the election in the Abokobi Women’s Development Centre polling station in the constituency.
According to Mahdi Jibril, there is nothing that can turn the election in favour of the NPP, expressing confidence that the NDC will win no matter what.
“The NDC’s candidate is already leading with 165 votes but there is one outstanding polling.
“In a wide vision, the NPP will not understand because they want to fight a losing battle. Mike Ocquaye Jnr must understand that will not win and could have saved the nation money and maintain peace,” he stated.
With the EC yet to set a date for the election, Mr Jabril has expressed hope that the NPP and its candidate, Muke Ocquaye will concede defeat and withdraw.
