President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has impressed Member of Parliament (MP) for Fomena, Mr.
Andrews Amoako Asiamah, to rescind his decision to run as an independent candidate for the constituency.
“My humble appeal to the deputy is to change his mind, since the decision to go alone in the parliamentary elections is not the best for the ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP) and his own political career,” he said.
Asiamah, a lawyer, announced his decision to run in the December elections as an independent candidate after he failed to get the go-ahead to represent the PNP as a parliamentary candidate in the recent Party primaries.
However, opinions are divided among the party’s faithful, as some of them had decided to show their solidarity by voting for the independent candidate.
They blame the party executives for deliberately planning the defeat of the MP.
President Nana Akufo-Addo, who addressed the separate durbars of the chiefs and the village of Fomena and Akrokerri, all in the northern Adansi district, emphasized the need for the MP to return to his roots.
He said it was regrettable that despite several calls on the deputy to change his decision, he was still determined to act alone.
“I personally invited and sat down with attorney Asiamah to support the PNP, but they had all fallen on deaf ears,” lamented the president.
He called on Ghanaians to solidly support the PNP in the impending elections to win massively for more development projects.
Nana Serwaa Buruwaa, Queen of Akrokerri, called on the government to strive to commit more resources to improve infrastructure in the area to raise the standard of living of the people.
