Accra, Jan 23, GNA –
The confirmation that Mr Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, the incumbent Member of
Parliament for Tema West, who is also the Deputy Minister of Trade, and
President Nana Akufo-Addo, are likely to represent the Party has placed some
delegates into a jubilant mood.
“It has become all
too clear that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s 2020 Presidential and
Parliamentary ticket for the Tema West Constituency is a done deal.”
The joy of the
Executives of the party, emanated from the fact that, the MP picked nomination
forms and was likely to partner President Akufo-Addo for the December
elections.
Madam Mariama Kwakye
Offei, Tema West Polling Station Women Organiser told the Ghana News Agency in
Accra that a tentative approval happened
at Tema Community two, where party executives
convened in expectation of official announcement that the sitting MP
would run for MP again, even as President Akufo-Addo is likely to go
un-contested for the Presidential ticket.
“I am so happy that
finally, we have the confirmation that my MP is running again; it just simply
means that victory is assured for the NPP in Tema West again.”
She said when the
Tema West Constituency Chairman of the NPP, Dennis Amfo-Sefah, later emerged with
Mr Carlos Ahenkorah’s nomination forms in his hands, it evoked singing and dancing even before he
made the official announcement
According to her,
President Akufo-Addo’s place on the 2020 Presidential ticket was also assured
and therefore the NPP was firmly on the way to re-election both in terms of the
Presidential and the Parliamentary election.
“In Nana Addo, we
have Free SHS, One Village One dam, One District, One Factory, and many more
that our opponents will never be able to counter. Here in Tema, we have Carlos’
good works, including; the creation of jobs for the youth, the supply of
vehicles for taxi drivers on work and pay basis, the paving of roads, the
rehabilitation of schools, scholarships, distribution of desks to schools, and
many more that will get Carlos easily re-elected.”
