Accra, Jan. 17, GNA \u2013 Third-time New Patriotic Party (NPP) aspirant, Mr Frank Yeboah, is set to take over from Benito Owusu Bio, incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) as Parliamentary candidate during the NPP\u2019s primaries in the Atwima Nwabiagya North Constituency.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Yeboah, who hails from Dabaa in the constituency, first contested the incumbent in 2016 and 2020. The third-time aspirant comes with a vast knowledge of the terrain and is tipped as favourite to take up the mantle left by Mr Owusu Bio who has bowed out from contesting as a fifth-time MP for the constituency.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Yeboah currently works with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) as the Director of Procurement and Project, a release copied to the Ghana News Agency on Wednesday has indicated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
It said his love for humanity and human development propelled him on to his political journey during his school days at Kumasi Polytechnic, now Kumasi Technical University, as an ardent advocate of the UP tradition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He ventured into full time politics during the then Candidate John Kufuor\u2019s leadership bid in Sunyani when he organised some like-minded youth in support.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Subsequently, he volunteered his support to actively follow Candidate Kufuor\u2019s campaign throughout the Ashanti region where he quietly played some vital roles to secure victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His passion for the NPP had never been in doubt as demonstrated by his diverse and tireless efforts expended towards the party before and during all major and general elections till date.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Through it all, his vision for human development remained consistent as he dared to present himself as an aspirant to serve the Nwabiagya North Constituency in 2016.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Although he made very positive headlines for his composure, demeanour, and mental fortitude as a matured politician, he lost by a slim twelve-vote margin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Many were those who urged him to contest the seat as an independent candidate, but he never succumbed to the incessant pressures and exhibited enormous maturity by fully supporting the candidate-elect and the party throughout the campaign period to ensure victory for the party\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cConsistently, he has kept faith with the party at all levels and his service was rewarded with an appointment to the Ashanti Regional Youth Wing of the NPP as a patron.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr Yeboah\u2019s opponent in the coming primaries is Lawyer Dickson Osei, a former aspirant who previously stood as an independent candidate against the incumbent, the party\u2019s choice for five consecutive terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr Yeboah holds a Master of Science Degree in International Accounting from Anglia Ruskin University, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University, and a Certificate in Management of Drugs Supplies from the Commonwealth Pharmaceutical Association all in the United Kingdom.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n He has an Executive Certificate in Leadership Strategies for Evolving Health Care Executives from Harvard University in the United States of America and a Diploma in Project Management from Galilee International Management Institute in Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr Yeboah\u00a0 also holds a Master of Science Degree in Procurement and Supply Chain Management from KNUST and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) Degree from Mountcrest University College.\u00a0<\/p>\n Professionally, he is an experienced Chartered Certified Accountant and a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) UK; member of Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana (ICAG); an associate member of the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) UK; member of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Ghana; member of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) UK; and a member of the Ghana Institute of Procurement and Supply (GIPS).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition, he is also a member of the Pharmaceutical Technologists Association of Ghana (PTAG).\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr Yeboah\u2019s in-depth knowledge and practical experience in leadership, insurance, accounting and audit, business management as well as financial management earned him an appointment as a member of the Board of Directors of Serene Insurance Company Limited.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n He also serves as the Board Chairman of Apagyamma Co-operative Credit Union.\u00a0<\/p>\n He had his professional career with Martin Morrison & Co, Chartered Certified Accountants, as an Audit Associate in the United Kingdom and later as an Account\/Audit Manager with the same Company.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n He also worked as an Audit Manager at Opoku, Andoh & Co, Chartered Accountants and Consultants, an ACCA Platinum Employer in Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr Yeboah was the Managing Director of Loyalty Insurance Company Limited, and, worked as the Internal Audit and Compliance Manager at Activa Insurance Group with responsibility across the West African Sub-Region.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n He is also the Chief Executive Officer of The Frank Yeboah Foundation, a non-profit organization, which is a vehicle for his skills and apprenticeship training, community development and humanitarian effort in support of education, health, business and entrepreneurship, and agriculture, the release said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n GNA\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Mr-Frank-Yeboah-NPP-2.jpg\")
