The Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has sent a strong signal to his contenders that he will win an overwhelming 98 percent of the vote in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections on December 7.

The deputy who filled out his nomination at the North Tongu district office of the Election Commission on Monday noted that his accomplishments over the past eight years are his greatest weapon for the 2020 elections.

He said: “We are determined to secure at least 98 percent; 98 percent for John Mahama and our parliamentary candidate, my good self, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa because we have the record. If you look at how we responded to this pandemic, there are very few places that can compare; We are one of the few constituencies that paid our private school teachers, we delivered textbooks to all of our students who were at home, we bought PPE and other machines to perform the Covid-19 test, we built an isolation center at Battor hospital Catholic and many other interventions that we have carried out “.

In the development area, the MP says he has no rival.

“In the area of ​​development, although parliamentarians are not necessarily agents of development, I have been able to push to incorporate so many development projects; Volo High School, Juapong Adidome Road, Mepe Dove Road, the various CHPS complexes we have completed. “

“I have used my own resources to complete a number of CHPS compounds, including Nyatikpo’s, and many things we have done. So we would continue with our trajectory, because we are working hard and responding to the felt needs of our people, bringing development to them, improving their lives and making them feel Ghanaian ”, he added.

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who is seeking a candidacy for a third term after having been in Parliament since 2012, would be the first person to have been given the opportunity to represent the people of North Tongu for three consecutive terms.

Subsequently, he was appointed Deputy Minister of Education in charge of tertiary education under former President John Dramani Mahama until the NDC lost power in 2016.
