Bibiani (W/N),
Aug 28, GNA – Mr. Stephen Donkor, the newly elected Parliamentary candidate for
the National Democratic Congress (NDC),in the Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai in the
western North Region, has promised to secure the seat for NDC in 2020.

According to
him, the constituency since 2004 had been a stronghold for the NPP in the
region and it was the time for the NDC to unite and take it from them.

“Bibiani
Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipality was built and developed by NDC, but NPP has
destroyed the good image of the constituency,” he said.

Speaking in an
interview with the Ghana News Agency after the party’s primary in the
constituency, Mr Donkor said, his aim was to repackage the party and come up
with strategic measures that would make the party win the seat back in 2020.

The former
Manager of Amajaro Ghana explained that, his intention to contest was motivated
by the constituents who were fed-up with the past trends and the NPP government
in the constituency, “the constituency needs someone who has vision and
the constituency at heart”.

He in that
regard urged the people in the constituency to have trust in the NDC and try it
again to enable them to achieve good projects and development.

“I think I
am more than capable of occupying the seat. I have demonstrated that I do have
the capacity to advocate a lot of things for the constituency. I belong to a
strong party which is known as the diplomatic and development oriented party.

“I am also
ready to serve and work with both the past and present executives in the party
in both the constituency and the region so that we can snatch the parliamentary
seat from NPP”.

Mr Donkor
polled 792 votes to defeat his only contender Mr Stephen Bennie, who had 556
votes to win the just ended NDC parliamentary primary to lead the party in the
2020 election.
