But what is their problem? You have one against 2, just concerntate and vote for the Ziope man and let the Agotime people decide their votes, except you don't have the numbers, and if that is the case, then it is too bad.

Real Leader is a SERVANT with credibility and capability to influence the people in a particular context to pursue his given direction, and not just anyone who is in need for position for pride sake.

The arrangement here is stupid. Any card holding member of the party has the right to contest for the parliamentary seat.The rotational basis issue here is nonsense.The current member of parliament and the DCE are failures . The people of the district should look at all the candidates from the different parties and vote for the best.Folks let's change our voting pattern and see what others can do for the region.Politics in the region should be dynamic .

What they are saying is not true in the first place,I'm not from that district but I know it is not true,that primitive thing is not true,in the first place Miss Azumah entered parliament when there was no district called Agortime/Ziope District Assembly for them to have such a backward convention,the district was known as Adaklu Anyigbe District Assembly and it was only when Adaklu was given a district that it became Agortime/Ziope District Assembly.

We elect people based on competence,not which town they come from,that foolishness has to stop,those people should go ahead to contest,we need the best not any idiot that will go to parliament based on where he comes from.

That convention is weakening the party at the grass root level and we want change now , Parliamentary sit is not chieftaincy sit that should be rotated , moreover the sit is not property to Hon. Juliana Azumah to decide who she is giving it to.
we are tied of this unopposed convention, we need competent people in Parliament who can deliver and not doormat type that waisted good 24 years for us , the convention is selfish and I and my team will never and never give up to those selfish and unthinkable being without vision to destroy the promising district, there is no tension at Agotime - Ziope district ,

corney pls do not say what u don't know.I am a native of agotime. this arrangement was between the three towns(adaklu. kpetoe n ziope)but now that adaklu is separate it is between kpetoe n ziope. Now the elders of my town kpetoe ar jealous bcos the current DCE is doing soo very well at ziope hence they can't afford to loose the mp sit to the ziope people.but the question is what has this current mp who is from kpetoe done for her own town.how will the people of kpetoe feel if ziope has done this to them. We all know that the man from ziope is very competent but it is bcos our neighbour's (ziopes) do not have the numbers that is why they are crying out loud.

To my people in Agotime-Ziope Constituency with humility, I am urging you to drop that Red flag and rather ponder critically about who we choose to lead us in this constituency. My humble appeal to the entire executives of the National Democratic Congress, is to avoid acts that will divide the front of this party. This is a democratic party, let us remain democrats, and members who are qualified to vie for the MP slot and have met all other requirements must be allowed to compete, for it is through competition that we can get the best from among us to lead the people.

The previous practice of pleading with aspirants to allow candidates to contest unopposed and which also does not make us democratic in this Constituency, seem not to have brought the best for our people. Again I do not believe in rotating the ‘MPship’ between and among towns and Districts. It should not matter if all our MPs come from the same village .What should matter to us the most is whether they are serving the people in the right and proper manner. Whether they are capable of offering quality leadership, able to deliver projects and development, and whether they can help formulate good laws for Ghana.

Leadership positions in our time today must not be abused to bring damnation on the people because for lack of knowledge we are perishing. The idea of rotating the MP slot should not be entertained on any day. It could be the genesis of trouble for our party. If the best of candidate who can deliver comes from Ziope let the people vote for that person, on the other hand if he comes from Kpetoe he equally deserves to lead us. Just as the first President of Ghana hailed from Nkroful in the Western region and whose legacies continue to benefit all Ghanaians today.

For us to see rapid change in the development of our people, it requires a leader who can bring transformation and propel the constituency to higher heights than we have today. We must try our possible best to look for a man of integrity who can lead us towards that change. This can only happen by choosing visionary, selfless, proactive, decisive and innovative leader. Someone who is ready to serve and does not expect the people to serve him: someone who puts others first rather than himself, a person that can unite the party and the people. Let us remember that leadership is about leading the people with clear conscience, and commitment to bring change in the lives of the people. We do not need people who will come and manage the status quo. Many in our society today are without competency skills are trying to manage leadership positions which require different qualities altogether; now has come about largely as a result of the pecks and goodies attached with these positions. We need to discourage these tendencies through using the right criteria in choosing our leaders. This will guide against persons who seek the peoples’ mandate with the intention to amass wealth, mistaken leadership positions to that of job opportunity. My Brothers and Sisters we will not progress with this kind of leadership.

People must contest and win on their own strengths. Let the delegates decide on who should lead us. We must break away from always endorsing candidates instead of electing them through competition, that way the candidate will know the position was not handed to him/her on a silver platter. This was the reason why Charles Agbeve and I were calling this Constituency to go democratic since 2008. We pick forms to contests the incumbent in our primaries but...

This is a democratic party, let us remain democrats.
