Amidst brass band music and dance, hundreds of party faithful accompanied him to pick his nomination forms at the party's office at Half-Assini.
He said "my intention to pick nomination forms to contest the NPP primaries is a bold step aimed at making the party stronger and better".
Mr Andoh indicated that since 1992, the leaders of the NPP in Jomoro worked tirelessly to build an enviable and a united party, which culminated in winning the parliamentary seat for the first time in 2016.
"I have come to rescue the party and maintain the seat for the NPP, build a united front and win the elections to bring more development to Jomoro", he stressed.
He appealed to his followers to do a clean campaign devoid of insults and personal attacks and focus on retaining the seat in December 2020.

I contested and won the Elubo West Electoral Area as an Assemblyman in the 2010 and 2015 District level elections representing the people of Elubo West at the Jomoro Distric/Municipal Assembly, I have rich experience to become MP for Jomoro to support President Akufo-Addo to develop this Constituency from 2021 to 2025".
