The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of St. Andrews Group of Companies, Prof. Richard Kofi Asiedu, has revealed why he did not allow anything to distract his attention during the Assin North by-elections in 2023.

According to the Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), he refrained from responding to allegations and insults by Chairman Wontumi just to deliver victory.

In an interview on Onua FM observed by MyNewsGh.com, he said, “You remember during the Assin North election, Chairman Wontumi made a lot of allegations, and I was called by several media houses to respond, but I never made any remarks.

“When he came to Assin North, he was all over mentioning my name, but I never responded to any of his allegations or insults because my mind was focusing on how to win the Assin North election, and I delivered."

He added, “I remember on the last day of our campaign at Assin North, I had calls to banter Chairman Wontumi, but I desisted because the level of discourse I’ll have with him might be disgraceful.”
