Akwasi Addai Odike, the founder of the United Front Party, has expressed hope that the independent candidate and former MP for Ejisu Kwabena Aduomi will win the by-election.
He described him as the people’s man who was always available to his constituents.
The president and vice president were accused of being interested in elections, claiming they never visited Ejisu since being elected but came to campaign for the by-election.
He criticized the president for his remarks at the party’s final rally on Sunday.
The individual urged the independent candidate to disregard the president’s outburst and wished him to win the election and become the MP for the constituency.
He said the people appreciate him for what he has done for them, and so they have pledged to vote for him.
“Akufo-Addo and Bawumia were in Ejisu to campaign for votes. But for the seven to eight years that Akufo-Addo was elected, he has never stepped foot in Ejisu. When coming to Kumasi, they fly in planes, and even if they use road transport, they drive in large convoys. So why are they in the constituency today? They are all there because they are fighting against one person, Aduomi. I am praying he will defeat them and be elected as the MP.
Aduomi is the people’s man. He was there for the people. And so I am praying that he will win to send a clear signal to the politicians to understand that the stronghold era is giving room for a common-sense approach in choosing leaders.
The inpundence and impunity with which the President spoke was unfortunate, but it will not wash. The comments he made and the jabs he threw at the independent candidate were silly. According to him, he personally hates the process used in electing parliamentary candidates in Ghana because it breeds corruption and divisiveness.”
