The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Integrated Aluminum Development

Corporation (GIADEC) speaking in an interview during his campaign launch at Atimpoku explained that his motivation to lead the party arises from his desire to build a strong party.

'The motivation really is to make sure that we can build a strong united party in Asuogyaman", he said.

According to him, what the party needs is the right leadership that can steer the party's affairs in the right direction.

Underscoring his vision for the people of Asuogyaman, the aspiring PC said, "My whole campaign is anchored on what we can do to actually help our people, what we can do to impact the lives of our people, what we can do to transform the communities that we have here.”

On how the party can overturn the 1200 votes deficit to win the 2024 polls, Mr. Ansah said prioritizing polling station executives, respecting and allowing them to work to do their best for the party, and bringing out the votes of the party are some of the proactive steps the party must take to ensure victory.

According to the one-time chairman of the NPP-UK and a first-time contender, what the party needs to ensure victory in 2024 is a strong unifier who can unite the party, noting that his message of unity, renewed hope, and transformation are what the party needs.

Describing Asuogyaman as having a real industrial capacity, the aspiring parliamentary candidate emphasized that there's a real opportunity to establish industries, create jobs, and turn the place into a viable economic area.
