South London New Patriotic Party’s Youth Organiser, George Emil, has expressed gratitude to constituents of Ejisu for the demonstration of love in retaining the NPP in the by-election.
The outcome of the by-election showed how appreciative the constituents are of the initiatives and performance of the Nana Addo-led administration.
The youth organiser pointed out that the results of the Ejisu by-election reflect the victory of the NPP on December 7, 2024.
The victory of the NPP, he said, also represents the honour done to the late MP, Dr. John Kumah.
“Ejisu has demonstrated that they love the NPP and have also honoured the NPP. Despite the perceived economic crisis, which is not only limited to Ghana but a global crisis, the constituents in Ejisu have shown us love. Before the election, the talk in town was that Ghana was going through an economic crisis and the people would vote against our candidate to send a clear message that they were disappointed in the NPP. However, the results have shown that people still love and appreciate the NPP.
The other point is that a former MP who contested on our ticket and was a strong member of the party contested as an independent candidate. We admit that there are economic challenges that the government is addressing, and people used that against us in the Ejisu by-election. But you will agree with me that the results were encouraging.”
The NPP candidate was commended for retaining the seat, stating that the results would not make them complacent.
“The NPP’s candidate, Kwabena Boateng, performed so well, but there is more to be done. The results were favourable, but we will not be complacent. We will continue to work hard going into the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, so we will clinch victory at all levels.”
He made the remarks during an interview with Dr. Ren on Rainbow Radio 92.4FM in the UK.
When asked what he made of the comments made by National Chairman Stephen Ntim that the party would reconcile with Kwabena Aduomi in order not to affect the chances of the NPP in 2024, following the figures he polled, he said, “Every serious political party will certainly be concerned when a strong member and a former MP with a huge following decides to contest as an independent candidate. It is not in doubt. That is the same thing I alluded to. The results show people are happy and appreciative of the NPP.
However, this is an internal party matter, and I am sure the party and its leadership will resolve this, so we will work hard in the constituency to ensure victory in 2024. I am optimistic they will resolve all outstanding challenges in other constituencies, so the party will emerge stronger towards victory. We acknowledge the problem, and we will find a way of dealing with it,” he added.
