Member of Parliament for Damongo, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has officially submitted his nomination forms to run for reelection in the upcoming 2024 general election.
Representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Jinapor aims to secure his position as the parliamentary candidate for Damongo in the Savanna Region.
Following the presentation of his nomination forms at the Electoral Commission’s office in Damongo, Jinapor who is the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources emphasized the importance of unity within the party. He expressed confidence that a united NPP would lead to victory in the December elections.
In his address, Jinapor outlined plans for significant infrastructural improvements in the constituency, including the upcoming District Roads Improvement Project (DRIP) which will bring essential road transformation equipment to Damongo.
He highlighted the party’s achievements in areas such as agriculture, job creation, and infrastructure development, asserting that these contributions have prepared the constituency to support his reelection and contribute to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s presidential campaign.
For the second consecutive election cycle, Jinapor has been confirmed as the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for Damongo without opposition. The Damongo constituency, one of the seven in the Savannah Region, has traditionally been held by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) since 1993.
In the 2020 elections, Jinapor contested against Adam Mutawakilu, the then-incumbent MP who had served since 2013. Mutawakilu is expected to be Jinapor’s opponent once again in the December polls.
