WE ARE ANGRY FOR POWER-NDC PARLIAMENTARY AIRED
The Parliamentary candidate of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ayawaso
West Wuogon Constituency, Mr Delali Kwasi
Brempong, has launched his campaign ahead of
the by-election.
At the launch in Accra, officials of
the party underscored that the results of the by-
election scheduled for Thursday, January 31,
2019 would demonstrate the party’s eagerness
to wrest power from the ruling New Patriotic
Party (NDC) in the 2020 elections.
According to the Acting Director of Elections of
the NDC, Mr Bede Ziedeng, the party’s hunger
for power was necessitated by what he
described as the seamless economic hardship
suffered by Ghanaians, a situation which
informed the call on the party by “the suffering
masses” to rescue the situation by returning to
power.
“We are hungry for power. We are not hungry
for the sake of it, but the majority of Ghanaians
who are suffering under this government are
calling on us to return to power and change the
situation.
The winning of the 2020 election starts from
now and the results of the by-election will
demonstrate how hungry we are for power,” he
stated.
He, therefore, called on the constituency
executive to discharge their duties with urgency
and commitment and gave an assurance that
since the by-election was of national
importance, the entire party hierarchy would
throw its weight behind them to win the seat
which had been occupied by the NPP for more
than two decades.
The Ayawaso West Wuogon seat became vacant
following the death of Mr Emmanuel
Kyeremateng Agyarko, the then occupant of the
seat who died at the age of 60 on Wednesday,
November 21, 2018.
Launch
Speaking at the launch, Mr Brempong, who
represented the NDC in the 2016 elections and
lost to the deceased, underscored that the
results of the by-election would have “far-
reaching” implications on the future of the
constituency.
He cited bad road network, sanitation
difficulties, low income, rampant demolition of
structures, security challenges, and access to
quality health care as key issues confronting the
constituents and appealed to the electorate to
choose a representative who understood and
could share in their challenges.
For over two decades, these NPP Parliamentarians have failed to leverage the
opportunity given them to drive the needed
attention and development befitting the status
of the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency.”
A constituency with the profile as we have
should have witnessed far more reaching
progress than it currently has,” he stated.
Mr Brempong, who is seeking to garner not less
than 60 per cent of the votes, said he had
prioritised issues such as security, sanitation
and health and appealed to the electorate to
express confidence in him.
House-to house approach
For his part, the National Organiser of the NDC,
Mr Joshua Hamidu Akamba, who was present at
the event, charged the constituency executives
to prioritise house-to-house campaign to enable
them to reach out to all the delegates
irrespective of their class and status.
