The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary aspirant for Ejisu, Maame Yaa Gyamerah Aboagye, has clarified her residency status in the constituency in light of the upcoming by-election.
Madam Aboagye, who is vying to succeed the late Member of Parliament John Kumah, has been confronted with claims suggesting that she does not reside within the constituency.
However, during an interview with Kwesi Parker-Wilson host of Oyerepa Breakfast Time on April 10, 2024, denied the allegations.
She underscored the need of having connections in the capital city of Accra.
Ms. Aboagye argued that, Ejisu would benefit from a representative who can effectively engage with the government and secure resources for development from Accra.
Despite living in Accra, she stressed her track record of national-level contributions and her commitment to bringing progress to Ejisu.
The upcoming by-election in the Ejisu Constituency is scheduled for 30 April 2024.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has decided not to participate in the by-election.
