Kwasi Nyantakyi, the former president of the Ghana Football Association, was admitted to the hospital in advance of the New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary primary for Ejisu, but he was eventually discharged.

A source from his campaign team confirmed to Citi News that Nyantakyi was hospitalized for treatment following his complaint.

According to the source, Nyantakyi’s illness may have been exacerbated by not eating all day due to his busy schedule ahead of Saturday’s polls, which included a planned meeting with delegates.

He received treatment at Legacy Hospital in Asokore Mampong.

Following his discharge, Nyantakyi promptly headed to the voting centre to rally delegates to support his bid to replace the late John Kumah.

Mr. Nyantakyi acknowledged to the media that he was admitted to the hospital but that he is currently feeling healthy.

A total of 1081 delegates are set to decide the fate of nine aspirants vying to represent the New Patriotic Party in the upcoming by-election in the Ejisu Constituency.

The party is conducting its parliamentary primary to select a candidate following the passing of the Member of Parliament for Ejisu, John Ampontuah Kumah.

Campaign activities have been intense throughout the week as aspirants engage with delegates to secure their votes.

The party is urging both aspirants and delegates to strictly adhere to election guidelines and reiterating calls for aspirants not to encamp delegates.

Ashanti Regional Research and Elections Officer of the NPP, Nana Kofi Owusu, assured Citi News that all is in readiness for today’s elections.
