Leading up to the primary, Annoh-Dompreh expressed confidence in securing a resounding victory, aiming to retain the Nsawam Adoagyiri seat with over 80 percent of the total votes.

He emphasised his intention to teach Siaw a political lesson that would be memorable.

If you look at the turnout, it is impressive. I didn’t have any difficulty. Even though they wanted to give me some courtesy, I resisted it because I wanted to go through the queue and the process. I think it has been smooth, no hitches so far.”
