2024 Elections: Richard Kingson reveals why he voted for NDC’s Benjamin Ayiku over NPP’s Okoe-Boye

Former Black Stars goalkeeper Richard Kingston has claimed that Benjamin Ayiku has outperformed Bernard Okoe-Boye, the parliamentary candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), as Member of Parliament for the Ledzokuku constituency.

Ayiku beat Okoe-Boye in the December 7, 2020 elections and the former Wigan Athletic goalkeeper, after casting his vote in the December 7 2024 elections, noted that he has observed more progress in the constituency under Ayiku’s tenure than during Okoe-Boye’s.

“Every Ghanaian has a candidate or a party they support, and I can say Ayiku, even before he became a minister, was helping the community with his own money. By the grace of God, he was voted as the MP,” Kingston said.

However, Kingston was quick to deny any intention of venturing into politics, explaining that his presence at the polling center was purely to observe the electoral process.

“I am watching as a Ghanaian, so if anyone asks me how the election went, I can explain to them,” he added.
