Naa Torshie chatting with Carlos Ahenkorah at the rally ground
New Patriotic Party (NPP) incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema West Constituency, Irene Naa Torshie Addo, has declared her unflinching support for the elected parliamentary candidate for the area, Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, in order for the party to retain the seat in the December elections.
She further asked her supporters to take the party at heart, eschew any differences and join the campaign team of Mr Ahenkorah.
Naa Torshie Addo, Deputy Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, made the call when she mounted the platform to address enthusiastic party supporters at Community 2, Tema, at the weekend.
“I am pleading with you. I came to perform my role but the current government has sent the country back so I am asking you people of Tema West to vote massively for Nana Addo and Carlos on December 7.
“Supporters of Tema West, I have the singular honour to introduce to you the new Member of Parliament for Tema West for 2017. God bless you all,” she emphatically stated.
She further urged Ghanaians to reject the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration and vote massively for the NPP to return to power.
Mr Carlos Ahenkorah advised party supporters to desist from petty gossips and lies that have the tendency to create divisions in the NPP in Tema West.
He also urged his supporters to unite with every member of the party as had been demonstrated by the incumbent MP and himself.
Mr Ahenkorah pointed out, “What has happened in Tema West has put much joy in my heart…..
“Naa Torshie does not hate me; I also do not hate her but you, our supporters, have created enmity in the party. She has emphatically stated here that there is only one parliamentary candidate in Tema West; and I am the candidate,” he pointed out.
The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the NPP, Ishmael Ashietey, urged party supporters in Tema West to unite and work assiduously for the party.
