“Accept me as a son” – Sam George woos ET Mensah

The newly elected National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the Ningo Prampram Constituency for the 2016 general elections, Sam George, has told Citi News he is ready to work with outgoing MP, ET Mensah, despite the fierce campaign that characterized his election.

Sam George, who had been described by ET Mensah as his ‘errand boy’, secured a shocking comprehensive victory against him in the race.

Official results from the Electoral Commission gave Samuel George, 4,910 votes with ET Mensah polling 2,831 votes.

Speaking to Citi News after his victory, an ecstatic Sam George extended an olive branch to his opponent saying “the incumbent Honorable ET Mensah should accept me as a son and realize that we are one party… this is a victory for the NDC.”

Mr. George said he is ready to work with “all representatives irrespective of whatever happened throughout the campaign” in reference to the war of words and confusion that plagued the Ningo Prampram Constituency ahead of Sunday’s voting. He stressed the need for unity between the two sides ahead of the 2016 general elections. “I and Hon ET Mensah together will deliver this seat for the NDC come 2016 and we will deliver it together for His Excellency John Dramani Mahama” Sam George’s victory in the Ningo Prampram constituency means he will face Sylvester Tetteh of the opposition New Patriotic Party in a constituency that has traditionally been a stronghold of the NDC.
