Explaining the rationale for taking back the donated bicycles from the delegates after his defeat, a disappointed Amankwa Blay told Adom Online; “I’m not taking back the money but as for the bicycles, I need them back." Aside from the GH¢300 unit cost of the bicycles, Blay claims he shared a cash amount of GH¢200 and GH¢500 to each delegate and constituency executive to endorse his candidature but they failed to do so. Some delegates and polling station executives reacting to the move said they were disappointed the donated bicycles were taken back by Blay and his supporters. NPP secretary of Assin North Constituency, Emmanuel Asamoah said the leadership of the party will soon meet defeated Blay to find an amicable solution.
