We broke the news minutes ago… Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah has won the Ofoase-Ayirebi Constituency elections of the NPP. The former radio morning show host won with some 219 votes as against John Obiri Yeboah’s 145.
The other contestant Bright Asamoah Acquah had 45 votes.
A huge win for the NPP, Oppong-Nkrumah is seen as one of several persons whose personality can give the NPP a solid footing ahead of the 2016 elections.
Campaign Manager for Kojo Oppong Nkruma told Kasapa FM the result is a true reflection of the choice of the delegates.
“We don’t vote on radio; we vote with delegates. We had a message… they bought into our campaign.”
Born on April 5, 1982, to Mr Kwame Oppong Nkrumah, Head of Treasury of the National Investment Bank, and Mrs Felicia Oppong Nkrumah, a Teacher, he hails from Abora Aboase near Saltpond in the Central Region.
He had his secondary education at the Pope John Secondary in Koforidua and studied for his first degree at the University of Cape Coast.
He subsequently enrolled for a Master’s programme in Marketing at the University of Ghana.
He joined JOY FM in 2007 as an intern after being spotted by Multimedia Broadcasting CEO, Mr Kwesi Twum, while making a presentation at the University of Cape Coast.
From very humble beginnings, he’s grown to become a highly respected young achiever.
