Weija-Gbawe MP, Tina Mensah, has reiterated her assertion that her opponent, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, is a foreigner and therefore ineligible to participate in the parliamentary race.
In an interview on Adom TV after casting her vote in the primaries, the Deputy Health Minister, who described herself as the landlord, emphasised that Jerry Ahmed Shaib, the Chief Executive Officer of the Coastal Development Authority (CoDA), is a foreigner.
She asserted that the seat was not for sale and expressed confidence in her victory, stating that constituents would not overlook her track record to vote for what she referred to as a rented aspirant.
“I am the landlord and will continue to say that Weija Gbawe is not for sale. He is not a member of the constituency so I am the one delegates will vote for,” she bragged.
Tina Mensah had previously claimed that certain constituency executives were influenced by financial incentives to impose their favored candidate on constituents, even though the candidate did not reside in the constituency.
