The Parliamentary Candidate for Akuapem North Constituency in the Eastern Region on the ticket of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Evans says he is adamant snatching the seat from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Parliamentary election in the December 7 polls.
According to him, despite the area being known as the stronghold for the NPP over the past years, the constituency continues to lag in terms of development.
John Evans is however of the belief that with the NDC potentially being the representative of Akuapem North in Parliament beginning January 2025, the area shall find its feet with developmental projects emphasizing that the people also deserve better and a fair share of the national cake.
“I strongly believe that per my works done so far in the area, constituents of Akuapem North will massively vote for NDC both in the Parliamentary and Presidential elections to enable us [NDC] to give them the infrastructure projects they have been demanding for,” he stated.
He stressed further that his competitor in the NPP’s candidate, Sammi Awuku is not a cause to worry in the contest as he sees no keen competition from the National Lottery Authority (NLA) boss because he is not exposed to contesting in any general elections in the country, therefore, defeat lurks at his doorstep on December 7.
“When it comes to experience in general elections in the country, I am by far ahead of him [Sammi Awuku] because I contested the outgoing Member of Parliament for Okere Constituency, Dan Botwe in the 2020 election but lost and this time around a strategy has been put on the grounds to discipline Sammi Awuku in the 2024 elections,” he told Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH.
