The incumbent Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Gifty Twum Ampofo, says she has not dreamt of seeking re-election as an Independent Parliamentary Candidate in the upcoming 2024 parliamentary elections.
According to her, doing the opposite would amount to being ungrateful to President Akufo Addo and the New Patriotic Party whose shoulders she rose to become the MP of the area for 8 years and serving as former Deputy Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection and Deputy Minister of Education responsible for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
Gifty Twum Ampofo is part of the sitting NPP MPs who lost their parliamentary seats on January 27, 2024, during the party’s parliamentary primaries.
She emphasized that she would not do that and indicated that in every circumstance, the least to do is being thankful to God because she believes nation-building is not done by one person.
The Abuakwa North MP told KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH when she embarked on ‘My First Day at School’ tour in her constituency to visit the fresh pupils in KG1 and class 1 who reported to school on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
Gifty Ampofo gave them some learning materials and snacks and used the opportunity and encourage them to take their studies seriously to be able to become good leaders in the future.
She also took advantage and inspected some 13 ongoing educational infrastructures of which 8 have been completed and expected to be commissioned soon.
The Director of Education for Abuakwa North Municipality, Grace Adaza-Awude, added that early childhood education is very essential for every child. Hence, parents must send their wards to school because, without education, the future is bleak.
She then commended Gifty Twum Twum for her continuous support for the school children in Abuakwa North and said they are going to miss her as her tenure in office as a Member of Parliament is gradually coming to an end on January 7, 2025.
