A New Patriotic Party delegate who doubles as a government appointee of the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly in the Upper East Region, Mr. Paul Amaliba Azika has died on Thursday April 28,2022.
He passed on following an election shock he suffered during the party’s internal election in the Bolgatanga Central Constituency in the upper East regional capital.
Mr. Azika, a teacher of Tongo-Beo Junior High School in the Talensi District and a government appointee in the Bolga Municipal Assembly on Thursday, April 28, 2022, collapsed when Awudu Asonga, a constituency chairman aspirant he whole hearted supported lost the Bolga constituency chairmanship election.
Mr. Azika collapsed at the election centre at the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) hall at Bolgatanga during the counting of ballots after realising his candidate wouldn’t win the position due to a 2 vote difference between his candidate and the winner .
Mr. Azika was immediately rushed to the Upper East Regional hospital and was later pronounced dead by the doctor on duty at regional hospital in Bolga.
The remains of late Paul Azika have been deposited at the morgue of the Upper East Regional hospital for preservation for the main time.
According to party sources, the remains of the late Paul Azika will be preserved for two weeks, awaiting the arrival of some family members,long distance friends and well wishers for his burial.
The deceased left behind two children.
The demise of Mr. Azika has compelled the Bolga Municipal Assembly to postpone the election of a presiding member scheduled for Friday, April 29, 2022, to a later date yet to be communicated.
At the end of the elections, Kwame Anaba polled 355 votes to beat Awudu Asonga who polled 353 votes, thus becoming the NPP’s Bolga Central Constituency Chairman-elect.
The immediate past constituency chairman Amaliba Alhassan also polled 77 votes.
