The New Patriotic Party (NPP) remains optimistic about winning the upcoming by-election in the Ejisu Constituency, despite the emergence of independent candidate Kwabena Owusu Aduomi as a strong contender.
Both the party’s national and regional executives have intensified their campaign efforts within the constituency, expressing confidence in retaining the Ejisu parliamentary seat.
Henry Nana Boakye, National Organizer of the NPP, affirmed the party’s unwavering confidence in an interview with Citi News, stating, “Ejisu is clearly NPP, and NPP is Ejisu…we do not believe any independent candidate can secure victory in the Ejisu Constituency.”
The party further emphasized that Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, the former Member of Parliament for the area running as an independent candidate, has made minimal contributions to the constituency’s development.
Nana Boakye emphasized that the independent candidate does not pose a threat to the party’s anticipated triumph.
“Clearly Ejisu is NPP and NPP is Ejisu…we do not see that any independent candidate can win the Ejisu Constituency.
“We have a vibrant and energetic lawyer and we are strategically positioning the party to win this hands down,” he stated.
“The facts are there; under President Kufuor, he was appointed at the Ministry of Highways as a director. Under Nana Akufo-Addo he was appointed as a deputy minister of roads…NPP gave him the opportunity to be an MP for 12 good years.”
