By Edward Williams, GNA

Hohoe (V/R), July 21, GNA – Professor
Margaret Kwaku, a former Municipal Chief Executive of the Hohoe Municipal
Assembly, has picked and filed nominations to battle five others in the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries in the Hohoe
Constituency of the Volta Region.

The five others who also filed their
nominations are; Mr Kingsley Mortey, a Statistician and Information
Technologist; Mr T.K Dzimegah, a legal practitioner; Mr Francis Dimake, a
former constituency executive and government appointee; Mr Simon Kanyagoe and
Dr Kennedy Ahorsu, a peace and security expert.

The contestants are vying to replace Dr
Helen Adiku Heloo, the current Member of Parliament, who decided not to
contest.

Mr Kingsley Mortey after filing his
nomination in an address described himself as competent to lead the NDC in the
2020 general elections in the constituency.

He touted achievements of the current Member
of Parliament and said he was poised to continue her good works. 

Mr Francis Dimake also said his commitment
to the Party and the crucial roles he played at the grassroots showed his
preparedness to serve and win more votes for the NDC. 

He said the effective way to bridge the gap
between party executives was giving the mandate to a “true grassroots
person” who had served the people, understood their problems and was
willing to offer effective solutions.

Nominations were filed on behalf of Mr T.K
Dzimegah and Dr Kennedy Ahorsu.
