Kintampo (B/A) Aug. 24, GNA - Mr Awudulai Razak, Kintampo North District Chief Executive, has been elected to contest the constituency parliamentary seat on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) next year.

Addressing the delegates shortly before the election, Mr. Lord Commey, National youth organizer of the NPP, commended the delegates for going about the vote peacefully.
