The NDC Parliamentary election results in the Sagnarigu constituency came as a shock to supporters of the party and his colleagues in Parliament as they wondered what could have been the reason for the defeat of Alhaji A.B.A Fuseini.

Allotey Jacobs, speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' show, lost his seat because he didn't pay money to the delegates.

He told host Kwami Sefa Kayi that the MP would use his money to buy plastic chairs than pay the delegates.

"I'm sure A.B.A. Fuseini didn't pay them . . . the A.B.A Fuseini will rather use the money to buy bench and plastic chairs . . ." he stated.
