The Assistant Secretary for New Patriotic Party (NPP) in New Juaben North Constituency of Eastern Eastern, Richard Antwire has resigned from his position to join the race to contest the constituency’s Parliamentary seat.

Antwire reveals that he has served the New Patriotic Party in New Juaben North Constituency for over twenty years and if today their incumbent Member of Parliament, Nana Adjei Boateng says he is no more contesting the 2024 elections he saw it as an opportunity to replace him in Parliament.
“This Parliamentary elections is not about the money but rather is about the human relationship, hard work, dedication and the service to the constituents”, he said.
The New Juaben NPP Parliamentary hopeful was speaking to Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH, indicating that anyone who wants to contest the parliamentary position shouldn’t wait till election period is due before doing projects for the constituents.
“Most aspirants have develop a tactics of doing one or two projects in the constituencies to deceive the constituents and is about time things must stop”, he stated.
Richard Antwire stressed, that such persons when being voted for, you won’t see them again unless the next elections.
“Hence; it is important for delegates to elect a leader who would always be there for them,listen to their challenges, confronting them, help address them and that visionary leader is Richard Antwire”, he noted.
He furthered by saying, before deciding to resign from his position as Assistant Secretary for the parliamentary slot, he consulted many people including his Constituency Chairman, Ernest Oti Akenteneg, Eastern Regional NPP executive led by Chairman Jeff Konadu Addo,other executives and have all given him the greenlight to go ahead and contest the New Juaben North Parliamentary Seat because he deserves it.
He adds, he has been the Constituency Communication Director for eight years, polling station executive for four years and one term Constituency Assistant Secretary so he is well known in the Constituency.
He ceased the opportunity and appeal to the delegates in the Constituency to vote him coming February, 2024 and would work tirelessly to transform New Juaben North.
Again, he noted that he served with all humility Hackman Owusu Agyeman, their former MP, and current MP, Nana Adjei Boateng to develop the Constituency.
“So if a time has come for Nana Adjei Boaten to bow out of the race then I deserve to wear his shoes to continue his good works”, added Richard Antwire.
