I have just been confirmed, through popular acclamation, as the Manhyia South Constituency New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the 7th December elections.

The short but colourful ceremony was attended by all the major stakeholders in the party in the constituency including the Council of Elders, Patrons, Executives, Electoral Area Coordinators and others.

The various speakers, including Nana Kwaku Duah, the Council of Elders Chairman, acknowledged my efforts in uniting the party and bringing progress to the constituency over the years.

They gave assurances of their readiness to rally behind me so that our party would increase our votes to help retain the Manhyia South seat.

I am totally overwhelmed by the massive show of support and the confidence that the party has reposed in me. I am pledging to work harder than ever to enable President Nana Akufo-Addo to renew his mandate and continue to deliver progress for our dear country.
