Aspiring parliamentary candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Afram Plains South Constituency of the Eastern Region, William Hor, has appealed to party delegates and constituents to grant him the mandate for the third time.
He urged them to vote for him to represent them in Parliament, emphasising his understanding of their concerns.
Hor called for a shift in favour of candidates who can connect with the people, contrasting them with individuals solely focused on personal interests.
He positioned himself as the ideal candidate to challenge the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP, Joseph Appiah, on behalf of the NPP.
Speaking to the media in Koforidua after successfully undergoing the vetting process and securing the second position, he expressed his readiness to serve the constituents.
He said: “I want to make a significant impact in society through development and support, and also to be the most visible and approachable MP who will make a difference”.
Given his close connection with the people, William Hor believes he comprehends their challenges and possesses the vision to bring about positive transformations in the local communities if granted the mandate to lead the party.
Hor highlighted his extensive service to the NPP in various capacities, starting from the grassroots level. He asserted that his years of dedication to the party uniquely position him to lead the NPP in the upcoming contest.
