I have accepted Defeat –Alhaji Boniface Abubakar

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Madina constituency, Alhaji Boniface Abubakar Sadique has gone back on his words  to challenge the parliamentary results of the December 7 polls in court.

He says his decision is informed by the realization that his agents on the ground let him down.

In an interview with Citi News, the incumbent MP said he  has accepted his defeat  in good faith but wishes the constituents are able to enjoy the development he made  for their benefit  over the past four years.

“Some of us have accepted it in good faith. I thought of taking it to court but I have decided not to. I believe in the principle that elections are won at the polling station People who were supposed to do proper manning refused to do so and thought were harming me. But they have forgotten that when a vehicle is involved in an accident, the quantum of injury differs from person to person. I am the candidate and my injury is different from the one who cast the vote expecting me to bring the road to your place one day. Check all the MPs in Greater Accra and see the level of development I brought to Madina but today I pray that we get another MP who can do the same” he said.

The incumbent MP lost his seat to Francis Xavier Sosu of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) by a margin of over 15,000 votes.
