B. Danquah Adu and Victor Smith<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Former Deputy Minister of Women and Children\u2019s Affairs in the erstwhile Kufuor Administration, J. B. Danquah Adu, has vowed to knock out any political opponent that will square off with him for the Abuakwa North seat in the 2012 elections.<\/p>\n<p>The former deputy minister believes not even the President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, can win if pitted against him for that particular seat.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, J.B Danquah Adu, who is aspiring for the seat on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), was once the Member of Parliament for the area.<\/p>\n<p>He lost the bid to represent the constituents to the NPP\u2019s Prof Samuel Kwadwo Amoako, but in a dramatic parliamentary primary held on April 30, the ex-MP staged a comeback by defeating the incumbent who polled just two votes whilst he had 296 votes.<\/p>\n<p>The jostle for the Abuakwa North seat heightened following the decision by Victor Emmanuel Smith, Ghana\u2019s Ambassador to the Czech Republic and former aide to ex-president Jerry John Rawlings, to try his luck in the parliamentary elections on the ticket of the ruling party.<\/p>\n<p>Widely considered a no-go area for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the former Head of Protocol at the Presidency told newsmen a couple of weeks ago that he was motivated by the numerous calls on him from constituents- both home and abroad- to challenge the NPP for the seat.<\/p>\n<p>But in an apparent response to Victor Smith\u2019s declaration, the former Deputy Minister has thrown down the gauntlet to his competitor and confidently stated he will retain the seat for the NPP, no matter who is contesting him.<\/p>\n<p>He was speaking to the media after the presentation of GH\u00a230,000 to the Akyem Old Tafo Presbyterian Church, in aid of some projects being undertaken by the church. The donation was the aspiring MP\u2019s contribution to the spread of the gospel and growth of God\u2019s church.<\/p>\n<p>J.B. Danquah Adu also used the occasion to impress upon the youth in his constituency and Ghanaians in general to do away with any form of electoral violence before, during and after the 2012 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>Rev Sam Koranteng, who received the presentation on behalf of the Presbyterian Church, commended the aspirant for the kind gesture and prayed for God\u2019s blessings over his life and that of his family\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Source:<\/strong> <strong>Peacefmonline<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Link: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> J.
