I've always been an NPP member - Oppong-Nkrumah reveals

Former Super Morning Show host, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, has revealed that he has always been a member of the opposition New Patriotic Party.

Oppong-Nkrumah, who was elected parliamentary candidate for the Ofoase-Ayeribi constituency in the NPP parliamentary primaries held over the weekend said his profession as a journalist prevented him from exhibiting his true party colours.

“The truth is always one. I have always been NPP. All my family members including my dad and mum are NPP,” Oppong-Nkrumah told Kasapa FM on Monday.

“Once you are assigned a task to perform, you have to do it professionally. So, I did my work professionally whilst at Joy FM.

“But when I resigned and went back to school to complete my law studies, I got home and as a patron of the party at the constituency, I continued with the work that I had been doing,” he said.

Oppong-Nkrumah polled 219 votes to beat his closest contender, John Obiri-Yeboah who managed 145 votes. The other contestant Bright Asamoah Acquah managed 54 votes.
