In a video shared by GHOne TV via X on Saturday afternoon, Nyantakyi who is contesting in the NPP parliamentary primaries in Ejisu, can be seen arriving at a voting centre after he was admitted at the Asokore Mampong hospital hours before the crucial primaries.
The portal added that a source within the former GFA president’s camp attributed his hospitalisation to stress following the Ramadan.
