The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Techiman North Constituency, Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, has given the assurance that when given the mandate, he would lobby for the creation of a district for Techiman North to enable the people to realise an effective administration and development.
“If you vote for me, I will fight for a new district for Techiman North and that can translate into the effective growth of our area,” Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi said.
The NPP Parliamentary candidate gave the assurance when he interacted with some supporters of the party and purported defectors from the NDC to the NPP at Fitri and Atrensu Atifi in the constituency.
He appealed to the electorate in the area to give him the mandate this time around in the December 7 poll for them to enjoy improved development.
The aspiring MP said the sitting National Democratic Party (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP), Alex Kyeremeh, had woefully failed the constituents in terms of solving the development needs of the communities and so there was the need to reject him.
Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi, who is the Minister of Ports and Harbours, urged the people not to be deceived once again by anyone as the date for the elections drew near but advised them to vote massively for Nana Akufo-Addo as the President and himself as the parliamentary representative.
The NPP parliamentary aspirant said when voted as their representative in parliament, he would contribute meaningfully to issues and all matters that come up for discussion in the house and would not be seen as dumb while others shared their concerns, adding “I will fight for your cause; there are good plans for you.”
