Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea told Kwami Sefa-Kayi during Kokrokoo Morning show that, the NDC lost the Kunbungu by-election because Ghanaians are disappointed in them. According to him, when one compares the results the NDC had in 2008 to that of 2013, it is an indication that �Ghanaians are not happy with the current administration and that is why they lost the seat and that is the only lesson in the Kumbungu election�. �NDC had 18285 votes in 2008, this year it reduced 11896; this means they lost 6389 votes. Where did the votes go to? Kumbungu is not a swinging constituency; it is a strong hold of the NDC since 1992; no party has taken it from them. It is judgement on the current government performance since January 2013,� he mentioned. The Kumbungu seat is considered as one of the strong holds of the NDC, however, during the by-election, the NDC candidate lost to the Convention People Party�s candidate; Amadu Moses Yahaya.
