He lost by a huge margin as provisional results projected a 58.1% win for Mr Jinapor as against his 47%.

Salia has been appointed by the National Executives, led by the NPP First National Vice-Chairperson, Rita Asorbiyere to lead the NPP as the parliamentary candidate for the Yapei-Kusugu constituency.

Madam Rita explained that Abu Kamara worked and died in NPP so the people of the constituency should honour him by voting massively for his brother come December 7.
