About 1,000 delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Kwadaso Constituency in the Ashanti Region have unequivocally declared their support for Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto ahead of the party’s flagbearership elections in November this year.
Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, the former Minister of Agriculture, is one of the key contenders in the NPP flagbearership race.
During a press conference held yesterday, the delegates, consisting of the Council of Elders, Constituency Executives, and Polling Station Executives of the Kwadaso constituency, announced that they will be voting for Dr. Afriyie Akoto and no other candidate.
Ernest Frimpong, the leader of the delegates and also the Assembly Member for Kwadaso, expressed their unwavering support for Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto to become the NPP’s flagbearer.
Frimpong emphasized that the former Minister of Agriculture has made significant contributions to the party and therefore deserves their votes as a token of appreciation.
Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto served as the Member of Parliament for Kwadaso from 2008 to 2016. Throughout his tenure, he initiated numerous developmental projects and worked diligently with constituents from all walks of life, regardless of their age, social status, or background. Dr. Akoto carried out his duties with passion, respect, commitment, loyalty, and selflessness, without any hesitation, he said.
The delegates praised Afriyie Akoto’s competence and determination to serve his people, which they found extremely impressive.
“He is one of our own and cannot deny him but to rally our support behind him at this point of his presidential ambition.” They declared.
They said that although many of the NPP top executives support Dr. Bawumia, they are highly optimistic that, based on the grassroots efforts, Afriyie Akoto will ultimately emerge as the party’s presidential candidate.
However, they earnestly implored all NPP delegates to carefully consider voting for Dr. Akoto, as he is the only candidate capable of leading the party to secure victory in the 2024 elections and end the eight-year cycle.
