I have the vision to transform Afram Plains South – William Hor

An aspiring parliamentary candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Afram Plains South Constituency of the Eastern Region, William Hor, has called on the delegates of the party and constituents to give him the mandate to contest on the ticket of the party for the 3rd time and subsequently vote for him to represent them in Parliament as he understands their plight.

According to him, it's time for the constituents to consider giving the chance to aspirants who could relate with the people rather than individuals whose focus was to seek their interest.

He described himself as the best candidate to wrest power from the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP, Joseph Appiah, for the NPP.

Willie Hor said this when speaking to the media in Koforidua, after passing through the vetting process and picking number 2 with one contender who picked number 1.

He said: "I want to make a significant impact in society through development and support, and also to be the most visible and approachable MP who will make a difference".

Considering his relationship with the people, he believes he knows their problems and has the vision to transform the local communities when given the mandate to lead the party.

Willie Hor noted that he had served the NPP in the constituency in different capacities from the grassroots, adding that he believes his years of service to the party make him stand tall to lead the NPP in the contest.
