Before the elections, she told the assembly members, “When we met the last time, I pleaded with you that for the sake of the development of Cape Coast, you should approve the presidential nominee but it did not happen as we expect. We have another chance to vote for the president's nominee. Hon members kindly look at me and confirm the president's nominee for the sake of the development of Cape Coast which is our major priority. But it appears not even her decision to ‘take the knee’ did the nominee any good as Ernest Arthur was once again rejected by the electorate. Third and final voting has been scheduled for Monday, October 11, at the same venue, the Regional Coordinating Council.
