One of the contenders in the upcoming parliamentary primaries in the Akwatia Constituency of the governing New Patriotic Party, Nana Obeng-Danquah aka Daakye, says the constituency is crying for a strong voice to represent the people to champion their development needs.
Speaking after filing his nomination forms over the weekend in Akwatia, Daakye who is a journalist said that he is the most qualified candidate to offer that effective representation for the constituency to get its share of the national cake.
He stated that Akwatia was hugely lagging behind in infrastructure development and projects even under the NPP government because of the lack of strong leadership and representation.
He explained that he is seeking to offer effective representation to advocate for infrastructure projects and have the skills and ability to market the Akwatia Constituency.
Obeng- Danquah, who is seen as the unifier, reiterated that without unity within the constituency as far as NPP was concerned, it will be difficult to recapture the Akwatia seat from the opposition National Democratic Congress.
According to him, unity is key if NPP wants to recapture the seat, and entreated the party people at all levels to listen to what is happening on the ground.
Akwatia NPP constituency is sharply divided into two factions which started from the conduct of the 2020 parliamentary primaries.
The aspirant appealed to the delegates to vote wisely and not to repeat the past mistakes and assured them that they would be considered first in all opportunities that would be available.
“Let us unite to break the eight, let us win together,” he said.
