Former Minister of Youth and Sports and Member of Parliament for Odododiodio Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Hon. Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye has been advised to start preparing his handing over notes as he will not be in parliament in 2021.

New Patriotic Party’s (NPP’s) Nii Lante Bannerman gave the advice on Saturday after filing his nomination papers to contest as parliamentary candidate.

He told journalists that the constituency is now more attractive to the NPP than before which informs his confidence level reiterating his resolve to uproot the incumbent like cassava in the 2020 polls.

“After the 2016 elections, we have been able to nurture this constituency to make it viable and very attractive; this has happened because we have an executive that is unified.”

He added “These are people who hitherto were not part of us, a lot of them, but today they are here with us; I’m very grateful to the executives for the opportunity they have given me and I am assuring them that come 2020 we will deliver Odododiodoo”, he said of the loads of supporters who followed him to file his nomination.

Explaining what might have boosted his confidence level, he said “We are in a constituency that is basically difficult for the NPP to win this seat; you need to be able to win those on the other side to the party and like I said through the hard work of the executives and myself, including the Lord Mayor of Accra [Mohammed Adjei Sowah] and Lord Commey we have made the party very viable and attractive in the constituency…and I can assure, the NDC are living in a state of denial in the constituency and that’s one thing that gives me confidence”
