Fiifi Kwetey battles MP over Ketu South seat
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has
scheduled the parliamentary primaries of Ketu
South in the Volta Region for Saturday 26th May
2012 at Denu, the constituency capital. The NDC
primaries in the Ketu South Constituency were put
on hold in anticipation of a split of the
Constituency into two separate ones.

The Electoral Commission was, however enable to do
so, hence the need for the party to proceed to
conduct the parliamentary primaries there.

At the close of nominations, seven individual
members of the NDC filed their applications to
contest the primaries; namely Hon Albert Zigah,
the current MP; Fiifi Kwetey, a Deputy Minister
for Finance and Economic Planning; Mr Raphael
Alorwu, a National Service District Director; Mrs
Elizabeth Kuenyefu, an Educationist and a gender
activist; Mr Nicholas Woclachie, a lecturer and
PhD student of the Open University of Malaysia; Mr
Frederick Alipui, an Economic Consultant with
considerable international experience and Mr
Nyphson Agbagedy, a former NDC parliamentary
aspirant for 2004 Elections.

A branch audit of the constituency delegates list
was conducted on Wednesday 9th May 2012, in Denu
by a regional team of the NDC led by Regional
Secretary, Simon Amegashie-Viglo and the
constituency executive committee, to ascertain the
authenticity of the list of delegates to the
Constituency Conference. On Friday 11th May 2012,
there was vetting of all the seven aspirants in
Denu to determine whether they were qualified to
contest the 2012 parliamentary elections on behalf
of the NDC. The constituency vetting was done by
the Ketu South constituency executives under the
