Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North Constituency who doubles as the deputy Minister of Education in charge of Technical And Vocational Education And Training (TVET), Hon Gifty Twum-Ampofo, has admonished all illegible voters to cast their votes in favour of H.E the president, Nana Akufo-Addo and all parliamentary candidates on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to continue the unprecedented development in the country.
She said, election research has recently shown that, whilst the presidential votes in previously held elections appreciate the member of parliament’s votes decrease, a situation peculiar to most constituencies of which Abuakwa North is no exception.
Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo sited, the bitterness after parliamentary primaries as one of the key factors that compels voters to cast their ballots for the president and either decide not to vote for their parliamentary candidate representing NPP or cast their ballots for the opposing candidates, a situation she describes as “development killer”.
The Hon Member of Parliament explained that, the president needs majority in parliament to enable him have all his developmental and flagship bills passed into laws for the socio-economic development of the country.
Hon. Gifty Twum stressed, it would have been difficult for the government to access the recent World Bank COVID 19 interest free loan that Ghanaians are enjoying i.e free water, 50% cut on electrity tarriff etc. if the majority in parliament were not NPP. She said, they (MPs of NPP) were vehemently opposed by the NDC not to pass the bill to access the loan facility but due to their huge numbers present in parliament, the votes favoured the passage of the bill.
“Due to this and other reasons, all voters must burry all parliamentary primaries hatchets and vote for anyone that represents the elephant (NPP) to make decision making and execution of developmental projects less cumbersome for government for a better Ghana” she continue
Hon. Gifty Twum-Ampofo made this disclosure when she toured electoral areas in the Abuakwa North enclave to recount developmental projects that the Nana Akufo-Addo led NPP administration has done so far and what they intend doing when voted into power again come 7th December, 2020.
