Dr Mark Assibey-Yeboah, the MP for New Juaben South, has lost his parliamentary nomination and will not be in the eighth parliament of the fourth republic - unless he goes independent.
Prior to the NPP primaries, the MP who chairs the Finance Committee of Parliament told his supporters that his role as a parliamentarian was indispensable.
According to Dr. Asibey-Yeboah in a viral audio, he has been the best parliamentarian to have come from Koforidua since the 4th republican constitution was introduced in 1993.
"If I am not in Parliament, Parliament will collapse. Since Ghana's multiparty democracy in the 4th republic, Koforidua has not had any MP of my calibre," he told the NPP supporters as they cheered him on.
