A major contender in the Asante Akyem South New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries, Bice Osei-Kuffuor has said it is time for the incumbent MP, Kwaku Asante-Boateng to step aside.<\/p>\n

The Managing Director of Ghana Post popularly known as Obour believes Mr Asante-Boateng has done enough and needs to give way for a new face.<\/p>\n

According to him, the MP who doubles as a Deputy Railway Minister has been in office for 12 years, however, Asante Akyem South is still lagging behind in terms of development. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In an interview on Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen<\/strong> programme Friday, Obour emphasised the need for a new face and vision to bolster support in the constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder his tenure, the constituency has benefitted from a number of government driven initiatives but deliberate initiatives from him, you can\u2019t point to a single one. Not a major project has been completed. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe has his strength but I don\u2019t think he is best with lobbying. The needs of the constituency has been abandoned so maybe when another person comes, he will help with that and I am best when it comes to lobbying,\u201d he lamented. <\/p>\n

Citing some pertinent challenges in the constituency, he said there are about six communities which do not have access to mobile network. <\/p>\n

He noted that, he has already embarked on a number of infrastructural development and is poised to do more if given the nod. <\/p>\n

January 27 will be Obour\u2019s second time contesting the Asante Akyem South constituency primary after his defeat in 2020.<\/p>\n

He contested with four others including Mr Asante-Boateng but lost by 58 votes.<\/p>\n
