New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for Bolgatanga Central, Atiah Figo Awonekai, has predicted that the current MP, Isaac Adongo, may abandon the constituency due to anticipated defeat.
“Mr. Adongo is now running helter-skelter because of the pressure I am applying. By October or November, Isaac Adongo will flee Bolgatanga Central. I promise the NPP that this time, the Bolga seat will fall to the NPP,” Mr. Atiah declared.
Atiah Figo Awonekai attributed this potential retreat to the growing pressure he is exerting on Adongo, who currently serves as the ranking member of the Finance Committee in Parliament.
Atiah expressed his optimism about winning, citing his active engagement with local stakeholders compared to Adongo’s apparent complacency, as Adongo remains in Accra.
“While I was on the ground, engaging with the people and addressing their concerns, Mr. Adongo was comfortably relaxing in Accra, assuming his victory was assured,” Mr. Atiah stated while highlighting projects including the construction of the 30-kilometre Bolga-Sherigu-Naaga road, the Soe-Zaare road, the Zumbrungu-Zorkor road, and the establishment of a Bolgatanga Mechanical Enclave as being engineered by him.
“I assured the constituency executives that Mr. Adongo would soon feel the pressure and return to the constituency. True to my words, he is now constantly shuttling between Accra and Bolgatanga. He gets severe anxiety at the mention of my name,” he said.
