Frank Asiedu Bekoe, Member of Parliament for the Suhum constituency, has urged New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters in Akwatia not to rest until Solomon Asumadu is declared the MP for Akwatia.
Speaking to the media at Akyim Dwenase, he stated that the large turnout of NPP supporters indicates that the party’s candidate will retain the seat.
He added that he was not surprised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) contesting the by-election, calling them a “very greedy party”.
He also claimed that the NPP’s decision not to contest the Tamale by-election was a result of their conviction. He therefore urged the people of Akwatia to vote massively for Solomon Asumadu.
Dr Osei Yaw Adu-Twum, the former education minister and an aspiring flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, has also joined the campaign to vigorously support the NPP candidate, Solomon Kwame Asumadu, in winning the Akwatia by-election slated for Tuesday, September 2.
During his door-to-door campaign at Akyem Boadua Mosque, streets, and homes in the Akwatia constituency, Dr Osei Yaw Adu-Twum pleaded with constituents to vote massively for Solomon Kwame Asumadu, emphasising that he is a native of the town and a “Zongo boy”.
He disclosed that the NPP is known for its development-orientated policies and that many people in the community have benefited from them. Therefore, voting for the NPP’s candidate in the upcoming Akwatia by-election would bring more development to every community within the constituency.
He also urged Muslims in the Akwatia constituency to disregard party colours and vote for Solomon Kwame Asumadu because he is a “Zongo boy” and one of their own.
Meanwhile, Solomon Kwame Asumadu, the NPP’s parliamentary candidate, has also appealed to the people of Akyem Boadua, his hometown, to vote for him so he can represent them in parliament and bring more development to the constituency and his community.
“I am appealing to you to vote massively for me. I would also encourage you to convince your brothers and sisters who have refused to vote to reconsider their decision. I am your son, and so let’s put party politics aside and vote for me. I will not disappoint you if you vote for me as your MP. “Tuesday, September 2, is the by-election, and I am appealing to you to vote for me,” he stated.
