The vice presidential candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has expressed confidence in the party’s ability to secure the Ayensuano seat in the upcoming December 7 election.
He emphasized that while the ultimate outcome lies in God’s hands, he is optimistic that Ghanaians will choose to retain the NPP in power, citing the party’s track record of fulfilling its promises.
During a constituency campaign tour in Anum Apapam, situated in the Ayensuano constituency of the Eastern Region, he delivered a hopeful message to chiefs and party supporters.
“The Ayensuano seat is coming back home,” he declared, underscoring the community’s determination to protect the achievements made in initiatives such as Free Senior High School (SHS), stable electricity, the construction of additional schools, and the Agenda 111 healthcare project.
He asserted that the people are unwavering in their belief that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the leader Ghana needs during this critical period.
“They are not only committed to campaigning for him, but they will also vote overwhelmingly in his favor,” he said, adding that hard work will ensure that Ida Adjoa Asiedu secures a seat in Parliament on the NPP’s ticket. Dr. Opoku Prempeh believes that Ayensuano, beyond the party’s traditional strongholds, could play a vital role in clinching victory for the NPP.
The vice presidential candidate also emphasized that Dr. Bawumia will be ready to implement his vision for the country if the party is re-elected.
He urged Ghanaians to consider the track records of both the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) before making their electoral decision, pointing out that both parties have experienced governance and should be compared on their achievements.
Reflecting on the current administration’s performance, Dr. Opoku Prempeh noted that the NPP has established a solid foundation for national transformation over the past seven and a half years—an accomplishment that the NDC, under former President John Dramani Mahama, has struggled to match. He highlighted the NPP’s introduction of social intervention policies like the Capitation Grant and the School Feeding Programme, which address the basic needs of Ghanaians.
In support of the NPP’s parliamentary candidate, Ida Adwoa Asiedu, Kennedy Agyepong called for unity and encouraged constituents to rally behind her, praising the previous contributions of former MP Ayeh-Paye to the community.
