You can’t use aggression to win power – Oko-Boye to Mahama, NDC
Outgoing Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku, Dr Benard Oko-Boye has told the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama and his party supporters that they cannot use force and hostility to win political power.
He called on Mr Mahama to either accept defeat or use the proper channel in addressing his grievances rather than inciting his supporters to demonstrate on the streets to protest the election results announced by the Chair of the Electoral Commission (EC).
Dr Oko Boye who was defeated in the parliamentary election explained on the New Day programme that some members of his campaign team asked him not to accept the results of the parliamentary election because the margin between him and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate was very close.

Exactly a week after the parliamentary and presidential elections, a cross-section of Ghanaians are yet to fully comprehend what led to the defeat of some of the incumbent Members of Parliament.
At least 28 incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislators lost their parliamentary seats in Monday’s elections.
Varied reasons have been suggested with many particularly intrigued by the dynamics that may have led to the exit of Ledzokuku MP, Dr Benard Okoe Boye.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate Benjamin Ayiku Narteh beat the NPP’s Okoe Boye by a margin of 1,866 votes.
In total, at least 108 out of the 275 members of the 7th Parliament will not return to the House in the 8th Parliament.
