Lydia Alhassan in a group photograph with her guests\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Association called \u2018Nana
\nand Bawumia Movement (NABA)\u2019 has thrown its support behind Lydia Alhassan, wife
\nof the late Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency
\nin the Greater Accra Region, to win the parliamentary seat on the ticket of \u00a0the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the
\nupcoming by-election following the demise of the MP.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of NABA,
\nPaul Amaning, explained that the Association aims at supporting all parliamentary
\ncandidates to win elections in every constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe visited Lydia
\nAlhassan to motivate her. We will support her during her campaign. We will do
\neverything possible for her to win the seat,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Vera Owiredu,
\nCommunications Director of the Association, also pleaded with party supporters
\nwhen they visited the family at their Ayawaso residence to support the family
\nto give the late MP a befitting burial. He stressed the need for them to come
\nout in their numbers to make sure Lydia Alhassan wins the by-election.<\/p>\n

A patron of the group, Edward
\nAgyekum Kufuor, asserted that with the majority rallying behind Lydia Alhassan,
\nshe is the right person to lead the party, adding that they would provide her
\nwith all the support she would need since their priority at Ayawaso West is to
\nprotect their seat.<\/p>\n

The widow, who has been
\ntipped by many to lead the NPP in the by-election, pleaded with Ghanaians to
\npray for her deceased husband and the family and asked for their continuous
\nsupport before, during and after the funeral which is slated for January 26,
\nthis year.<\/p>\n

The Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency is seen as a safe seat for the governing NPP since it first took the seat in 2000. Three successive MPs from the NPP namely George Isaac Amoo, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare and the late Agyarko have all won the seat previously.<\/p>\n
