Raymond Opoku Agyemang, the NDC parliamentary candidate for the Effiduase-Asokore constituency, believes his physical stature and appearance may play a key role in garnering support from constituents.
Agyemang shared in an interview with Angel FM that his "huge frame and good looks" have attracted admiration from locals, with some expressing their support for him based on these qualities.
"My believe that I will win the Effiduase seat has now being reinforced because when I started having real contact with the constituents or voters in Effiduase most of them were saying that their MP was their Goliath. But when I also look at my stature, I am more than that Goliath they are talking about. People are excited when they see me.
"Sometimes, some of the guys tell me if they were women, they would have married me. Others even go to the extent of saying that they are willing to give their daughters to me to have children with them so that they can have someone like me in their family. I am not boasting, that is the reality on the ground," he said in an interview on Angel FM, Kumasi.
Asked if he believes his stature will indeed influence the electorate to vote for him secure him, he expressed optimism.
"There are so many dynamics in politics, when a dynamic or anything works in your favour, that is where you need to hit. So even during the primary, many NPP supporters campaigned for me and told NDC delegates that I am then one who can contest their MP."
The Effiduase-Asokore seat is currently occupied by a formidable politician, Nana Ayew Afriye.
As the December 7 parliamentary election approaches, political analysts largely predict that the seat will remain with Afriye of the NPP, though Agyemang remains optimistic about his chances.
